module.factory(\'productService\', [\"$http\",
function ($

In response to the testing aspect of your question, Fiddler has a really useful function that helps when you need to simulate delays:

1. Click on the AutoResponders tab in Fiddler.
2. Add a rule with a regex that matches the URL of the request you want to delay.
3. Set the "respond with" to "*delay:1000" where the number is the delay in milliseconds.

The AutoResponder functionality in Fiddler is extremely useful for testing JS that involves a lot of http requests. You can set it to respond with particular http error codes, block responses, etc.
