Early testing

Experience has shown that the testing and tuning of an application are by far the most time consuming activities in the development of a LSCO system. It is very important that we prepare test data sets as early as possible, together with some test routines which exercise our API queries with these tests.

If we use different test sets right from the start on our stub implementation, then we can detect problems early on during the development of individual components.
