Overview

With Servoy, it is possible to test (and debug!) your applications directly from the development environment. This includes both the Smart Client and the Web Client. This is because when Servoy Developer is started, a local instance of the Application Server is also started in the background. It allows two client connections - one for each Smart and Web

Moreover, as you make changes to your application, Servoy will broadcast those changes into the debug clients . This allows (both smart and web), allowing you to see the changes real-time, test and debug without needing any need to restart the clientsclient.

Note

Debugging browser applications is traditionally VERY difficult because logic is asynchronously divided between the client and the server. However, because Servoy executes all of your business logic server-side, you can test and debug browser applications directly from the IDE.
