 So, if you close the config dialog once, you can open it up again by using the {{{jconsole}}} and invoke the [{{{configure}}}] method.
 Alternatively, you can also invoke [{{{addFolderToObserve}}}].
+
+== Testing ==
+
+The file system observer creates NOPs of the observed file operations and passes them to the (hopefully running!) User Observation Hub.
+
+Please keep in mind, that ALL file operations are observed and passed. That means: not only the file operations explicitly invoked by the user but also file operations done by the system or by applications are processed.
+In other words, if you configure to observe the whole hard disk (e.g. {{{C:\}}}) then you will get really A LOT of NOPs. For example, Mozilla Thunderbird creates and modifies really A LOT of files when running!
+
+Test this:
+
+ * Create a new text file
+ * Rename it to {{{NewTestDocument.txt}}}
+
+What happens is, that Windows creates a file named {{{Neu%20Textdokument.txt}}} (german Windows XP).
+After renaming the file (by you) it seems, that the file system observer recognizes an additional {{{FileSave}}} operation.
+
+Altogether this results in the following three NOPs being sent to the User Observation Hub:
