Test Content

After adding content, you can test your content in a staging environment. You test content to ensure that it is ready for release.

The following procedure shows how to test content obtained from a vRealize Orchestrator endpoint.

Prerequisites

Verify that the appliance name and fully qualified domain name of the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager instance are available.
Verify that the URL variable is assigned.
```
url='https://LCM-Hostname'
```
Verify that the content package you want to test has been added to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager.

Procedure

Assign the reference ID of an existing vRealize Orchestrator endpoint to a variable name.
```
vROEndpoint = '<referenceID>'
```

To test your captured content in a staging environment, execute the following command. This example uses a vRealize Orchestrator endpoint as a unit test server to perform basic pre-defined tests on content, so its endpoint ID is specified for the unitTestEndpointID.

curl -X POST \
  '$url/lcm/cms/api/v1/contents/pipelines' \

  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
