Testing and Building a Model

You test a model by asking questions that users of your application are likely to ask.

When you click Save Query while testing a model, you add the current question to the first regression file under the project in the Project Explorer window. There can be more than one regression text file in a project. A regression file can be added and then compared with the original file if the files have names that differ from one another.

After testing the model, build the application. The resulting file is an .eqd file, which can be made available to users inside any COM-supporting application, such as the Active Server Pages (ASP), Microsoft® Visual Basic®, or Microsoft Visual C++® sample applications that come with English Query.

Note When using Question Builderif it is desired to have the data values to appear in the entities' list in the Relationship pane, select Sample Data on the Data Connections tab before compiling the application.
