17. ARCH12: QA Considerations - OERA Complexities with WebSpeed Non-4GL expertise needed (HTML,JavaScript,...) Testing/Debugging –White screen (severe error, server-log) –Restart of Agents (to pick up changed programs) “Stateless” client –context management –Flat character-only data-structure (name-value pairs)

18. ARCH12: QA Considerations - OERA Tasks of Framework Converts name-value pairs into temp-table Requires data for HTML page in temp-tables Merges data with HTML page template (plain text) Sends merged page to web-stream (i.e. WebServer)... or to a file (for testing purposes)
