Which Anypoint Platform component allows a developer to run a Mule application locally and execute unit tests?

Anypoint Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) that provides a comprehensive platform for building Mule applications. It includes powerful features that enable developers to design, develop, and test applications efficiently. One of the key functionalities offered by Anypoint Studio is the ability to run a Mule application locally, allowing developers to test their code in a controlled environment before deploying it to production.

Additionally, Anypoint Studio supports unit testing of Mule applications through the use of MUnit, which is a testing framework designed specifically for Mule applications. This enables developers to write and execute tests to ensure that their integration flows behave as expected. The local execution capabilities combined with robust testing tools make Anypoint Studio essential for developers working on Mule applications.

In contrast, Anypoint Exchange serves as a repository for sharing assets, connectors, and APIs, but does not provide a development or testing environment. Anypoint Management Center focuses on monitoring and managing deployed applications, while Anypoint API Gateway provides features for securing and managing APIs but does not offer local application execution or testing capabilities.
