# Testing


## Websocket testing

The easiest way to test the websocket components is within the developer tools of the browser. 

```javascript
ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8010/ws"); // create new connection


// Log messages from the server
ws.onmessage = function (e) {
  console.log('From Server: ' + e.data);
};

// Sending a String
ws.send('your message');
>>From Server: Message text was: your message
```
