After you define the basic structure of a program, you can run an intermediate test to check your progress.
You can begin testing a program from the Program Editor by selecting the
Test button on the tool bar
. You can also start tests from the VAGen Parts Browser or
the VisualAge Organizer window. To start a test from either of these
windows, select the program you want to test, then select the Test
button.
Before you begin testing a program, you often need to set one or more breakpoints to suspend the test at specific points.
When the test is suspended, you can inspect the state of the program data and the current location of the test to verify that the program is working as designed.
