Greetings all,

I'm interested to know you're approach to unit testing nodes that connect to remote hosts.  
Do you emulate them with tcp in/out nodes? do you omit unit testing altogether and test manually? Please share 🙂

Best regards,  
Alex

I have moved this to General Category from Creating Nodes. It will be better served there.
