You can also test individual screens to quickly identify and troubleshoot issues. Execution workspace is launched to run and test the selected screen or the desktop action. After you run the test by entering the required inputs manually, test results are shown either for a screen or entire desktop action in the Execution workspace. While running tests, if you do not see the Execution workspace coming forth, switch to the Execution workspace manually. While working on a desktop action, the test values you enter are retained across test runs until you close the desktop action or reset the test values. ## Procedimento 1. From the desktop action header, select Test. 2. Option 1: Run the screen-level test. 1. Enter required inputs for the screen that you want to test. 2. Select Test screen. 3. After the test run is complete, check the status. * If test is successful, proceed with testing the next screen. * If test isn't successful, fix the issue highlighted in the error message and run the screen-level test again. {#test-activate-desktop-action-ad__ul_s4m_xcs_33c} 4. **Opcional:** Reset test data by selecting Reset. 5. **Opcional:** Cancel running test by selecting Cancel. {#test-activate-desktop-action-ad__substeps_eds_b5m_g3c} 3. Option 2: Run the desktop action-level test. 1. Enter required inputs for all screens in a desktop action. 2. Select Run test. 3. After the test run is complete, check the status. * If test is successful, proceed with activating the desktop action. * If test isn't successful, select Back to Test to check the configuration and run the test again. {#test-activate-desktop-action-ad__ul_xx5_2ds_33c} {#test-activate-desktop-action-ad__substeps_dt5_25m_g3c} 4. **Opcional:** Cancel running test by selecting Cancel. 5. After a successful completion of the desktop action test and when you are satisfied with the result, select Activate to publish the desktop action in AI Agent Studio.
