Testing business components
This completes our business service layer. So far, we have created:
Entity objects
Associations
View objects with view criteria
A view link
An application module
In many development teams, tasks are split between developers with some building business services and some building the user interface. Naturally, the developers building business services need a way to test their work without having to wait for the UI developers to finish their work. JDeveloper offers this in the form of the Business Components Tester.
To run this tester, simply right-click on the application module and select Run. This will start up the built-in tester application that will show the view object instances in your application module, as shown in the following screenshot:
You will be prompted for bind variable values when you activate a view object that needs them.
You can navigate through data, change data, and even create or delete records through the business component tester application.
