Testing and Debugging
Lamatic.ai (opens in a new tab) provides a comprehensive suite of tools to test and debug your flow effectively. This documentation covers essential testing methods to optimize your flow's performance in production.
Complete Flow Testing
Run a full flow test for end-to-end execution:
- Execution: Click the "Test" button to execute all nodes in sequence.
- Progress Tracking: Observe node-level progress during execution.
- Output Review: View the final output generated at the end of the flow.
Trigger-Specific Testing Approaches
Different triggers require unique testing methods:
| Trigger Type | Input Method | Testing Procedure |
|---|---|---|
| API | Sample API request payload | 1. Enter or choose the payload 2. Run the test |
| Widget | Sample payload or interaction | 1. Interact with the widget or enter/choose payload 2. Run the test |
| Webhook | Sample or actual webhook data | 1. Send data to the specified webhook or enter/choose payload 2. Run the test |
| App | Sample payload or event sim | 1. Perform the desired trigger event or enter/choose payload 2. Run the test |
Preview Test
For widget-triggered flows:
- UI Preview: Use the preview feature to visualize widget appearance and functionality.
- Configuration Check: Ensure interface elements are correctly set before deployment.
Debug: Node-Level Testing
Test individual nodes iteratively:
- Execution: Click the
▶️button on any node to execute it along with its connected preceding nodes. - Output View: Click on the node bar to access the debugging section and view the output after execution.
Code and Prompt Testing
Test specific components independently:
- Code & Prompts: Test code in a code node or prompts in any AI generator node.
- Testing Button: Click "Test" in the IDE to run the component. The system will prompt you to run prior nodes if needed to generate the output.
By following these methods and utilizing Lamatic.ai (opens in a new tab)'s testing tools, you can ensure your flow is robust, efficient, and ready for production deployment.
