<a name="kb-test-self-managed"></a>

After you set up your self-managed knowledge base, you can test its behavior in the following ways:
+ Send queries and generate responses to the queries based on the retrieved information from your data sources, by using the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent-runtime_RetrieveAndGenerate.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent-runtime_RetrieveAndGenerate.html) operation.
+ Generate a query for structured data sources.
+ Query a knowledge base connected to an Amazon Kendra GenAI index.
+ Query a knowledge base connected to an Amazon Neptune Analytics graph.
+ Configure and customize queries and response generation.
+ Configure response generation for reasoning models.
