Testing the journey
In this exercise we'll test the journey we've build.
In Adobe Journey Optimizer you can run journeys in test mode to test if the outcome of your journeys aligns with your requirements.
To enable test mode, click on Test mode on the top right of your journey.
While in test mode, you can not make changes to the journey. You'll also notice that the left menu is replaced with the Test mode panel.

- Fill out all the values for the event.
- Set Event Type to flight.booking

- Click Send to start the test.
If you don't have your test profile's ECID at hand, you can find your test profile in AEP using your email address. A guide to do this can be found under Finding your profile.
The window will close and the test will now start. In a few moments you'll see more arrows turn green. This is your test profile moving through the journey. You will receive the email(s) within the next minute. Your screen should look like this:
