We especially:

  • Created the environment for unit test, wrote a few unit test classes, and ran those classes against the Team Twitter application

  • Created the environment for integration test

  • Learned the widget-locating strategy for qooxdoo applications

  • Learned to add advices through AOP programming in qooxdoo

  • Learned to use the powerful web development tool, Firebug

  • Debugged an issue in the Team Twitter application using Firebug

We have learned about testing and debugging for qooxdoo applications and tried the concepts in our Team Twitter application. Now, we can debug and resolve issues and write test cases to validate any change in the application.

In the next chapter, we will learn to internationalize...
