Now that you have defined your program fully, you can test it thoroughly. You can begin to look for the correct handling of boundary conditions and errors in the logic.
Remember that, while testing, you can immediately move into the appropriate editor and correct any errors you find, without closing the test facility. After you have corrected the error and saved the part, reposition the test run to a location just before the error, and continue testing. When you are satisfied with the way the program works under the test facility, you are ready for generation.
To generate your program:
The Generate window is displayed.
From this point you could start the generation process for your program. However, this tutorial does not take you through the steps to generate a program. For information on generating and preparing programs, refer to the VisualAge Generator Design Guide.
For step-by-step instructions on building a client/server application with a graphical user interface, proceed to Chapter 17, "Building a visual part using VisualAge for Java" or Chapter 18, "Building a visual part using VisualAge Generator Developer on Smalltalk".
