Exalate's TestRun feature lets you validate configuration changes against real work items without affecting live data. This ensures your scripts, field mappings, and workflow logic work correctly before going live.
What TestRun Does
TestRun simulates configuration changes in draft mode, showing exactly how your scripts will transform data. You can apply your test configuration to one or more entities, review the results, and check for errors before publishing. The simulation validates field mappings, status transitions, and custom logic behave as expected across different scenarios.
How the Testing Workflow Works
The process follows three steps: select your test work items, run your configuration, then save or publish after reviewing results. The TestRun interface includes a "Start Test Run" button so you can validate changes without leaving your development environment. This catches problems during simulation rather than after deployment to production.
Draft Mode Isolates Experimental Changes
Draft mode separates your test configurations from active connections. While in draft mode, you can edit scripts, save modifications, and run multiple tests against different work items. This allows you to select specific work items for validation. This comprehensive testing approach ensures your configuration handles various edge cases correctly.
Safer Deployments with Versioning
Combined with versioning capabilities, TestRun creates a safety net for configuration management. If test outcomes meet your expectations, you can publish the version confidently, knowing it's been validated against actual data. This approach makes Exalate more reliable for organizations that need stable integrations while continuously improving sync configurations. Full script and operational control over your sync ensures you maintain security and precision throughout the testing process.
