Overview of Testing Your Model

This chapter covers testing of configurator models.

You can test configurator models using the methods listed in the following table.

Method	Description
Interactively	Whenever viewing or editing a model in the Configurator Models work area, you can launch a simulated configuration session that uses the structure, rules, and user interfaces that you have defined for the model.
Test Service	Using the Configurator Runtime Model Test service, a SOAP web service, you can run Configurator in a non-interactive mode. The service takes as input a payload that creates the configuration, performs one or more configuration operations on the components of the model and closes the configuration. All of these operations are performed without any end user interaction.
