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, toggle **Test** 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.

1. Click on **Trigger an event**. This will open a window. In this window you can choose a profile to be in the **Audience Qualification - Medicare Plan Enrolled Members** activity.
2. When we set up the Audience Qualification, we chose EMAIL as the main identifier. Enter your test profile's EMAIL as the profile identifier and click **Send** to start the test.
3. The window will close and the test will now start. In a few moments you'll see the arrows turn green. This is your test profile moving through the journey. You will receive the email in your inbox within the next minute. Your screen should look like this:
