Test the Dialog Flow

Once you have a valid dialog flow, you can test your skill bot as a whole. Be sure to validate the syntax before you test the bot.

To test the dialog flow:

  1. Click Skill Tester (This is an image of the Bot Tester icon.).

  2. Enter a test phrase or utterance and then click Send. Click This is an image of the attachment upload icon.to test an attachment response rendered by a Common Response component.

  3. Click Conversation to see the traversal through the states.

    During testing, you can export the conversation log for offline analysis by:
    1. Turning on Enable Insights in Settings > General.
    2. Choosing Skill Conversation Log and a time period in the Export Conversation Log dialog (accessed from the Export Conversation Log option in the tile menu). When your skill is in a production environment, be sure to turn the Skill Conversation Log option in the Settings page off to prevent the database from running out of space.
