Testing a Workflow

This guide provides a step-by-step approach to testing a workflow in the Kompass Admin UI. It helps users validate workflow logic, debug issues, and ensure correct data flow across components before deploying to production.

Technical Overview

In Workflow Weaver, workflows can be tested using two methods, each serving a different purpose:

1. Test Mode (Builder-Level Execution)

• Executes the workflow directly within the builder
• Useful for validating node execution and debugging logic
• Provides visibility into intermediate outputs of each component
• Ideal for developers during workflow construction

2. Playground Mode (Simulation-Based Testing)

• Simulates real-world execution using user inputs
• Provides a chat-based interface for testing workflows
• Helps validate end-to-end behavior and response quality
• Includes trace-level debugging for deeper analysis

Method 1: Testing via Test Mode

Step 1

Click "Test"

---

Step 2

Output of the Workflow

---

Step 3

Click "Adapter Execution" (timestamped execution log)

---

Step 4

You can check output of any component by simply clicking on that component.

---

Method 2: Testing via Playground

Step 5

Second way is testing through Playground

---

Step 6

Type your query and press Enter

---

Step 7

Output in chat

---

Step 8

Click "Traces" to check workflow execution traces

---

Step 9

Input and output data of every component will be shown here

When to Use What

Mode	Use Case
Test Mode	Debugging node logic, validating intermediate outputs
Playground	End-to-end testing, simulating real user queries
