Chapter 5. Testing, Debugging, and Exception Handling

This chapter maps to the debugging and exception handling parts of the exam, which include testing.

In the previous chapters, we have seen how to configure BizTalk Server to create a basic routing architecture and extended that architecture with identifying, transforming, orchestrating, and correlating requests and responses in that architecture. So far we have not discussed the errors that you might encounter while doing that or how you debug and troubleshoot the solution when that happens.

This chapter will cover the important concepts and topics that you need to know about to be able to efficiently debug and handle exceptions in your integration solution, while focusing on the areas in which you need to succeed in the exam.

This chapter covers the following main areas:

• Handling exceptions in Orchestrations

• Debugging Orchestrations

• Handling messaging errors

• Routing errors

• Validating and testing artifacts

• Testing your knowledge
