folder). Thus, every time an application tried to communicate
with a remote server, it was actually directed to the test
environment in which we could control the answers it was
getting.
3. On the test server we created an index.php file, which redirected
all communications to the path where the output of
our ‘real-world creation machine’ was. After client data was
redirected to our testing environment, it passed through a
set of PHP filters & parsers (see sample below), which separated
data parameters for manipulation – and which retur-

#Dislpay the forms:

answers.
index.php Redirection Sample:
The index.php routed the device to the test environment for
data manipulation and returning of the tester-controlled
‘real-world’ mimicking data.
Using the above data-routing scheme and ‘real-world machine’,
allowed the testing team to configure the test environment
based on testing needs and enabled to cover a wider
range of ‘real-world’ situations. This increased both the test
coverage & product maturity. 4
