14.4 Testing and Debugging

Testing an applet is much like testing an application. Because an applet is usually much

smaller, however, there is less code to test. In contrast, the steps involved in getting an ap-

plet to run are more involved because you have to set up a Web page.

Testing and Debugging Hints

1.Be sure that all of your initialization is within the initmethod.

2.An applet is often its own event listener. In such a case, confirm that the

addActionListenermethod has thisas its argument.

3.The spelling of the file name in the viewer or Web page must be identical to

the name of the file containing the Bytecode version of the applet.
