Testing is an important part of the process for creating a new Digital Feedback program. There are several key features for testing programs using Digital Feedback:
The ability to test before initial publication.
The ability to test changes made before they are published.
The ability to allow other, non-Professional users to test programs or changes to programs before they are published.
If any changes are later made to the program, you must re-publish the program to make those changes visible to the users - unpublished changes will not be visible to the users.
The Test mode applies only to the current session in your browser.
To run the program in Test Mode, click Test towards the right end of the Program toolbar. The Test dialog opens.

While the Test mode is toggled on, when you go to the website where the code snippet is deployed you will see the website and program along with any un-published changes. A tab is displayed across the top of the page to remind you that the program is in Test mode.
Figure 2 - Example of a website with a program in Test mode
To switch off the test mode, toggle the switch in the dialog to Off, or close your browser and load a new browser.
You can allow others to view your program in test mode. To do this, copy the URL (click Copy in the dialog), paste the URL into an email and send it to the users. When the user applies the URL to their browser, the page they are presented with will be the website with the program in Test mode. This will remain available to them during the current browser session. To switch off the test they only need to close the browser.
