Summary
POSE has taken a rightful place alongside editor, compiler, and debugger as among the most valuable assets in a Palm developer's toolbox. The ability to test and debug Palm applications in a near perfect emulation of the Palm OS, as well as the advantages of being able to run tests on virtually any OS and configuration without owning the actual devices, combine to make POSE one of the most frequently loaded programs on my computer.
This chapter provided an overview of POSE as a standalone tool, exploring some of its many useful features. The next chapter makes use of POSE in tandem with a debugger, a very powerful combination that presents the fastest, most effective way to identify and fix coding problems for Palm developers.
