The Local Server Framework allows users to develop custom server applications running over localhost. Components of Windows Mobile powered devices must communicate with external services running on external servers. Lack of control over the external server inhibits the ability to comprehensively test client side code. Additionally, varying network conditions in build labs introduce multiple points of failure in test code that are often unrelated to code under test. The server framework allows development of test application servers that run locally over localhost on the device, alleviating these problems. The Local (or Fake) Server Framework allows users to develop either full-featured servers or application-specific servers that communicate with their respective clients.
