Running the test of a dynamic project from a test server

Overview

Before deploying your dynamic WEBDEV site, we recommend that you run the final tests from a test sever.

CAUTION: The deployment engine for test MUST NOT be installed on a computer where WEBDEV Development version or WEBDEV Deployment version is installed.

The limitations of the deployment engine for test compared to the actual deployment engine are as follows:

The maximum number of connections (for all the WEBDEV applications installed on the computer) cannot exceed 10.
The deployment engine for test does NOT operate in TEST mode (which means that this engine does not operate with the WEBDEV editor)
The WEBDEV administrator has the following mention: "Test engine".
A mention indicating that the application is used with a test engine is displayed in the title bar of the browser: "Test engine; any use other than the punctual test is illegal"

Elements that must be installed on the "Test server"

Your dynamic WEBDEV site (setup by FTP or by physical media). For more details, see Site setup.
An Internet browser.
The "Test" engine of WEBDEV. This engine is available in the setup package of WEBDEV "Development Version".
A Web server (the Apache server is supplied with WEBDEV "Development Version").
The TCP/IP protocol.
