Test an App Block
You can use an app block builder to test your app block and verify your application functionalities. You don’t need to launch an Elastic fleet for this option. You can also create multiple app block builders with different instance types or sizes, and test the performance of your application with different compute options.
Note
The test app block option is supported only for app blocks with AppStream 2.0 packaging.
To test an app block
Open the AppStream 2.0 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/appstream2
. -
From the left-hand navigation menu, choose Applications Manager, App blocks.
-
Select an app block that you want to test, and choose Test from the Actions menu.
-
Select an app block builder, and choose Launch and test app block.
-
If the list is empty, then you either don’t have an app block builder, or all of your app block builders are associated with other app blocks. Either create a new app block builder, or disassociate an existing app block builder and test it.
-
If the app block builder is already associated with an app block, then you can continue using it for activating the app block.
-
If the selected app block builder was not associated with an app block builder, then it will be associated with the one you select, and the streaming session will launch. The app block builder remains associated with this app block after the session ends.
-
-
App block builder launches in a separate browser window in a Desktop streaming mode. The service downloads the app block from the Amazon S3 bucket and installs it on the app block builder instance.
-
Your applications can now be streamed and tested. You can open your application by either browsing it in File Explorer or using the Start menu.
-
When you are done testing, end the streaming session.
