# Run tests

> You can use the dashboard to run a test of your tasks.

You can run a test for any of your tasks, in any environment, from the dashboard.

> [!NOTE]
>
> There is no longer a "Test" page in the sidebar. You test a task from the task itself: on the
> Tasks page use the "Test" action next to a task, or open the task and press "Test task" ("Test
> schedule" for a scheduled task), to open its test page.

On a task's test page you can:

* Enter the run's input — a JSON **payload** and optional **metadata**. Scheduled tasks show timestamp fields instead of a payload.
* Configure run **options** like the machine size, version, queue, tags, retries, max duration, or a delay.
* Pre-populate the form from a previous run with **Recent runs**, or save and reuse a configuration with **Templates**.
* Press **Run test** to trigger the run.
