Testing Applications

[yippiekyyay]

Hello Forum,

I've now finished my application and have manually tested it for bugs. I've seen others refer to tools or methods to test applications and I would be interested in doing the same but have no idea where to begin to look. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance,
-Sean

Just incase you dont know, go to the menu, select 'run' and click 'start with full compile' this will catch any undeclared variables, functions etc.
Give your app to someone to test for you, they will be sure to find something!

Thanks for answering LPlates! I have done those things, but I was more curious as to what people who work in an profesional development area do to test applications on the job? I've heard of people using "test scripts" but don't know what that means...?
