Manual testing, like you do in Agentforce Builder, is the starting point for validating
your agent’s performance. It offers a detailed, step-by-step evaluation of your agent's
interactions and utterances and is especially effective for confirming configurations and
exploring how the agent responds to different inputs. Throughout the agent lifecycle, plan to
revisit manual testing in Agentforce Builder, especially after making changes to your
agent.

- Simulate and Live Test Modes
Agentforce Builder includes two different modes to test your agent: Simulate and Live Test. Simulate mode helps you verify that your agent has the right configuration without risking any changes to your actual data or org. Live Test mode actually runs the actions and changes your org so you can see how the agent performs when it’s active.
- Trace Panel in Agentforce Builder
The Trace panel is the reasoning debugger built into the Preview and Live Test experience in Agentforce Builder. It shows how your agent made decisions, including selected subagents, which actions triggered, when topic transitions happened, and how variable values changed.
- Test Your Agent in Agentforce Builder
Manually testing your agent in Agentforce Builder provides a detailed, step-by-step trace of your agent's interactions and processes. Use the Preview panel to chat with your agent, then review subagent selection, action execution, and reasoning on the Interaction Summary panel. For more details about any step, converse with the Agentforce Assistant.
