Use the Test tab to test a process file and its actions. By using the controls on this tab, you can start and stop the process file, repeat a process file event, run a simulated print job, and test an individual action.

The Test tab ribbon provides the following controls:

: Starts the process file.

: Stops the process file.

: Repeats the process file's last event.

: Specifies that during the test, the actions run without printing any physical items. A simulated print result is generated and saved to a temporary folder where you can view it.

: Opens the Test Action dialog so that you can test the action that is selected in the Process pane.

When you click the Test tab, the Test view appears. For more information, refer to Test View.
