Whether you’re working with an existing application, or you’re planning a new app, unit testing provides an efficient, dependable way to verify that your code functions as expected and ensure that your app’s features work. In a nutshell, unit testing provides an automated way to target, test and validate specific components of an application.
As with most things JavaScript, Dojo has you covered. Specifically, the Dojo Objective Harness (DOH), which ships with Dojo, provides a framework for writing and running unit tests. The ArcGIS API for JavaScript development team uses DOH to run unit tests throughout the development process to check that changes made to the API do not break existing functionality, and that new features accomplish their intended purpose.

The GeoServices REST Specification provides a way for Web clients to communicate with geographic information system (GIS) servers through Representational State Transfer (REST) technology.
The specification is
- A proven and easy to understand method for a broad range of clients and applications to request map, feature, attribute, and image information from a GIS server.
- A JSON-based, REST-ful specification that will make the GIS server instantly usable by thousands of developers working in popular client-side development environments with the ArcGIS Web mapping APIs for JavaScriptT, FlexT, Silverlight®, iOS®, and AndroidT.
Use of the GeoServices REST Specification is subject to the current Open Web Foundation Agreement. The Open Web Foundation (OWF) is an independent non-profit dedicated to the development and protection of open, non-proprietary specifications for web technologies. Terms and conditions of the OWF Agreement are subject to change without notice.

One of the most demanded new features of ArcGIS 10.1 for Server is the out-of-the-box support for printing in web applications. This feature has ranked number 1 in ideas.esri.com for a long time, so we are proud it made it into the 10.1 release.
ArcGIS Server 10.1 includes a new PrintingTools geoprocessing service which can be used from the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex and some ArcGIS.com templates very easily. This service is also supported by the ArcGIS APIs for JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight. Through this service you’ll be able to create high quality maps from your web applications in image and PDF formats.
