I have wondered this, but have not had time to try any testing at this
level.

Considering a modern Lasso application is pretty much entirely made up
of includes, ctags, ctypes, etc, how can any code actually be "run" and
tested then?

Does that have to take place at the full page level? So, to run code
you actually run a full page URL? The code can only be run once there
is a full page to test? Is that how it works?

Component testing is complicated business, so I'm not complaining, just
wondering how it works.
