Creating Dummy User for testing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

Hi Guys,

 

I would need some enlightenment over how i can set up dummy accounts to test my flows.

 

Right now I am trying to build a leave management system using a trial account and pitch its usefulness to my boss before he can make the decision for me to go ahead and subscribe to the full membership. 

 

However, to test it properly, i need some dummy users to be labelled as managers or HR user so that i can authenticate the 2 step approval process. I have not been able to find a way to create a dummy user just for testing. Besides that, i can't use alternative email addresses except for the ones under microsoft. 

 

Would appreciate any help here !

 

Thank you 🙂

    Hi @kohjx1 ,

     

    If you are building it within your organisation, it may be difficult to setup AD accounts due to security and licensing.  Could you maybe collaborate with a colleague to test and demo?

     

    Maybe look into the setting up a trial O365 account which is valid for 30 days here.  You can also register for a trial AD tenant here.

    I have the same requirement, is there any 'proper' solution than getting a bunch of real persons to be bothered with testing or creating new trial accounts?
