Deploying/debugging addons without actually opening the client?

[:1]I was wondering if you guys use any tools or simulators that allow you to deploy/debug your addon without actually loading wow.exe client. For example, in xCode, you can deploy your applications code into an iPhone simulator to test the application.

Or, do you guys actually load up wow.exe, login, and enter the World of Warcraft just to test the addon? That process seems quite slow does it not?

Or, I haven't tested this but are you able to /reloadui to test your addon's new changes to the lua/xml files?

Cheers|||So far reloading works for me, but I think there are some situations where you might have to restart WoW.|||yup, reloading should work most of the time. Though sometimes you'll get a freaky error you can't seem to fix and relogging actually fixes it...
