Test Topic Skill

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the lack of automated testing for Copilot Studio agent topics, requiring makers to manually verify that trigger phrases fire the correct conversation paths and variables bind as expected after editing topic content.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Manual Testing Guidance: Provides clear instructions for testing topics directly in the Copilot Studio test pane without additional tooling.
• Conversation Path Validation: Helps makers confirm that edited topics trigger the correct node sequences and surface variable values for debugging failed paths.
• Use Case: Use this Skill immediately after updating a topic's trigger phrases or conversation logic to catch errors before publishing the agent to end users.

Quick Start

Open your Copilot Studio agent, navigate to the Test pane, enter a trigger phrase for the topic you just edited, and review the conversation tree and variable values to confirm the correct path fires.
