Test your automation

Overview

The Test feature enables users to execute their automation once to verify or test its functionality. During this process, the automation runs a single instance using a predefined hard-coded setup schema(if present). For example, an automation designed to fetch an object's metadata when tested will execute it and generate a result. The results from each test are stored for easy access and reference.

How to test your automation?

1. After creating an automation, navigate to the Test section.

   
   

2. Click the Start New Test button

   
   
   
   

3. A dialog box will appear for entering the setup schema. You can choose one of the following options to input the data:

   • Form: Manually enter the data for the setup schema.

   • JSON: Provide the setup data in JSON format.

4. Click the Run Test button located at the bottom-right corner of the dialog box.

   
   

5. Click the Repeat Test button to retest your automation using the same setup data

6. Click the New Test button to retest your automation with different setup data.

→ If no setup schema is defined in the automation, the test will execute without it.
