Overview of development environment options

PolicyCenter supports a variety of development environment options depending on your business needs. You can:

• Perform development work using the default bundled QuickStart application server.
• Work on the local configuration files, repackage the configured application into a WAR or EAR file, and deploy it to a local or remote application server. Because you must repackage and redeploy a WAR or EAR file after making configuration changes, Guidewire does not recommend this approach for a development environment.

Use the QuickStart method if you want to install a development or demonstration PolicyCenter environment quickly using the fewest steps.
