Writing <u>[assessment criteria](docId\:QFwTsv4hljTOIfx4xfTqj)</u> is only the first step, you also need to confirm it works as expected before learners rely on it. **Generating and testing** the assessment helps you to run your criteria against a real, saved conversation and see exactly what feedback and grading it produces, so you can catch anything too harsh, too lenient, or missing before the simulation goes live.

Let's get started 🚀

Use the interactive walkthrough below to see how to generate and test your assessment.
