Test with real data

You can execute all predecessor steps in sequence and then run the target step with their real output. The target step runs against live upstream data without running the rest of the workflow.

Before you begin

  • You have verified that upstream steps have valid configurations, because predecessor steps execute with real credentials and make real network calls.

Procedure

  1. From the workflow builder, select the step that you want to test.
  2. Click the options menu (⋮) and select Run step.

    Alternatively, click a step to open it and click Run step from the step editor. The Run dialog opens with two options.

  3. Click Run all previous steps.

    Automation orchestrator saves the workflow if needed and executes all predecessor steps in sequence. It then runs the target step with their real output. The workflow stops running after the target step completes.

Results

  • Confirm that the target step status shows as completed or failed.
  • Verify that the output data matches the expected response for the step type.
  • Check the test run record in the run history by filtering for test mode runs.
