Testing your component[edit]
For details on how to install the component into your Joomla! site, refer to the information provided in Part 01.
In order to test this component, go to the administrator interface and find the Hello World menu item on the Components menu. It should show you a nice table with all the hello messages that are currently stored in the database.
