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.

Verify that the appliance name and fully qualified domain name of the

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

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

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

The following procedure shows how to test content obtained from a

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

endpoint.

Assign the reference ID of an existing

VMware Aria Automation 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

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

endpoint as a unit test server to perform basic pre-defined tests on content, so its endpoint ID is specified for the

unitTestEndpointID
