runView

runView is a feature or component often found in software development environments, particularly those that involve graphical user interfaces or visual design tools. Its primary purpose is to provide a live or simulated preview of how an application, interface, or specific element will appear and behave when executed. This allows developers and designers to iterate on their work quickly without needing to perform a full build and deployment cycle for every minor change.

Typically, runView will render the design in a similar environment to the target platform, be it a web browser, a mobile operating system, or a desktop application. This rendering may be interactive, allowing users to click buttons, enter text, or otherwise simulate user interaction. The level of fidelity in the simulation can vary, with some runView implementations offering near-perfect replication of the final product, while others might focus on layout and visual aspects.

The benefits of using a runView include increased productivity by reducing the time spent on testing and debugging, as well as improved design quality through immediate visual feedback. It bridges the gap between the design phase and the development phase, enabling a more seamless workflow. Many modern IDEs and design tools incorporate a runView or a similar live preview functionality as a core feature.
