+Testing Error Pages during Development
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The default ``ExceptionController`` also allows you to preview your
+*error* pages during development.
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.6
+    This feature was introduced in Symfony 2.6. Before, the third-party
+    `WebfactoryExceptionsBundle`_ could be used for the same purpose.
+
+To use this feature, you need to have a definition in your
+``routing_dev.yml`` file like so:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+    .. code-block:: yaml
+
+        # app/config/routing_dev.yml
+        _errors:
+            resource: "@TwigBundle/Resources/config/routing/errors.xml"
+            prefix:   /_error
+
+    .. code-block:: xml
+
+        <!-- app/config/routing_dev.xml -->
+        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
+        <routes xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/routing"
+            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
+            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/routing
+                http://symfony.com/schema/routing/routing-1.0.xsd">
+
+            <import resource="@TwigBundle/Resources/config/routing/errors.xml"
+                prefix="/_error" />
+        </routes>
+
+    .. code-block:: php
+
+        // app/config/routing_dev.php
+        use Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCollection;
+
+        $collection = new RouteCollection();
+        $collection->addCollection(
+            $loader->import("@AcmeHelloBundle/Resources/config/routing.php")
+        );
+        $collection->addPrefix("/error");
+
+        return $collection;
+
+If you're coming from an older version of Symfony, you might need to
+add this to your ``routing_dev.yml`` file. If you're starting from
+scratch, the `Symfony Standard Edition`_ already contains it for you.
+
+With this route added, you can use URLs like
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+     http://localhost/app_dev.php/_error/{statusCode}
+     http://localhost/app_dev.php/_error/{statusCode}.{format}
+
+to preview the *error* page for a given status code as HTML or for a
+given status code and format.
