Test WhatsApp Agents With AI Studio's Built-in Tester
Blog post from Vonage
AI Studio offers a built-in tester for no-code/low-code platforms, designed to ensure the functionality of WhatsApp agents at each development step, highlighting the importance of regular testing to prevent errors. Users can access the tester via the Agent's Canvas, where they can experiment with different events and test the agents directly in WhatsApp for a more realistic experience. The tester's key feature is its use of test parameters, which aid in identifying errors related to flow logic or incorrect inputs, and are particularly useful for debugging complex integration nodes like Webhooks. Refreshing the tester is essential to reflect updates, and the Debug window provides a detailed JSON log to trace errors precisely. Testing on WhatsApp is recommended for its close approximation to real-world application, allowing users to scan a QR code to initiate a test chat, although these sessions are temporary and require the agent to be published for full deployment.
