# Testing a chatbot

m-chat provides you the ability to test the bot before it is deployed on the production environment

## How do I test my bot?

In order to test the bot, you can follow the following steps;

* Go to '**Bot Builder**'
* '**Open**' the bot you want to test
* Click on '**Test this Bot**'

{% hint style="success" %}
Once you click on '**Test this bot**', different window will open up allowing you to test the flow of the bot that you have built
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
You will need to allow the pop ups on your browsers in case you do not see the window opening up
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The link is publicly available and hence can be shared across with the other team members as well
{% endhint %}
