About this task
Before you distribute your user-defined pattern, you can
test it to ensure that it works correctly. To test your user-defined
pattern, the Pattern Authoring editor opens a temporary workspace
in which you can generate an instance of your user-defined pattern.
You can then check that your user-defined pattern works correctly.
If your user-defined pattern contains Java™ pattern
authoring API code, see
Testing Java code. If your
user-defined pattern contains PHP pattern authoring API code, see
Testing PHP API code.
What to do next
After you have tested the pattern, you can share it with
the pattern users, see
Packaging and distributing pattern plug-ins.
