Development and QA
------------------

.. _startup_sequence:

Startup Sequence
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Startup Sequence page lists the order and result of EDG component activation
during system startup. This can be useful for debugging.


.. _url_routes:

URL Routes
^^^^^^^^^^
The URL Routes page lists shorter or alternate URLs for deployed pages or services. 
New routes can be defined by setting the ``ui:uriTemplate`` property of an SWP ``ui:Service``. 
This is considered an experimental feature and not recommended for production systems. 
Routes become active after a workspace refresh.


.. index:: GraphQL

.. _graphiql:

Query TopBraid Platform API using GraphQL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This link displays the GraphiQL tool for TopBraid EDG.
GraphiQL is a graphical interactive in-browser GraphQL IDE which features syntax highlighting,
auto-completion, and documentation. 
The GraphiQL IDE in Server Administration is scoped to the EDG platform and can be used, for example,
to query for a list of collection types or permissions for collections. 


.. _create_snapshot_of_edg:

Create Snapshot of EDG
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This link creates a snapshot of the EDG environment for testing purposes.
The generated snapshot contains the workspace collections and their history.
This snapshot can then be used by the “Restore Snapshot of EDG” feature, described below,
to build a replicated environment.
Snapshots can be useful for testing upgrades or customizations.


.. _restore_snapshot_of_edg:

Restore Snapshot of EDG
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Use this feature to restore the EDG workspace to the state contained by a previously-generated snapshot.
An EDG snapshot contains a set of workspace collections and their history
and can be genated by the "Create Snapshot of EDG" feature, described above.
Snapshots can be useful for testing upgrades or customizations.

.. warning::
   Restoring a snapshot will replace *all* data stored in the EDG Repositories folder.
   Restore a workspace only if no process is currently executing and no other users are logged in.


.. index:: DASH

.. _run_all_dash_test_cases:

Run all DASH Test Cases
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This link will execute all the DASH test cases from *.test.* files and test case asset collections
and display the results.
