Summary

This chapter examined many of the considerations related to developing and deploying a web application, including coding standards and source code control systems.

This chapter also touched on various aspects of application testing. Unit testing and load testing cover many of your testing needs, but always consider at least some dedicated testing resources for your programs to help ensure maximum robustness.

An excellent resource is http://www.opensourcetesting.org, a web site with information on tools for pretty much all aspects of testing your web applications and other applications.

This concludes Part IV of this book, "Implementing Your Web Application." In Part V, "Sample Projects and Further Ideas," we actually write some small web applications and look at some strategies for success when developing them.
