| Testing is one of the most important aspects of software development. Without testing it would be difficult | |
| to determine if a piece of code worked properly, changes would have undetected consequences, and the quality | |
| of products would generally be lower. | |
| </p><p> | |
| There are two major categories of testing generally recognised today: unit testing | |
| and integration testing. In the context of the | |
| GreenPages application, <span class="emphasis"><em>unit testing</em></span> means testing a single class in isolation from other application code. | |
| This type of testing does not change at all when developing for Web Server. | |
| </p><p> | |
| In our application <span class="emphasis"><em>integration testing</em></span> means testing an application or | |
| portion of an application with other code. This kind of testing does look a bit different when developing | |
| for Web Server. In most cases Web Server applications are made up of small bundles that consume services through the | |
| OSGi registry. In the following steps a single bundle and the entire GreenPages | |
| application will be integration tested outside the container. | |
