Amazon has just released a brand new Test Simulator for Alexa skills

The new simulator expands existing testing capabilities such as text input, JSON debugging, and visual display by adding features like the ability to test multi-turn conversation, entity resolution, dialog management, and more.

With the new voice input capability, you can validate Alexa’s understanding of the spoken word and how the skill responds.

The new device event log shows the directives that are sent to the devices, which allows you to understand how the skill interacts with the device.

That’s a totally new level of testing for Alexa skills 🔥
