# Test updates

# Test updates to a PaCE policy version {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Use the Test Playground to test updates to a PaCE policy script. You can evaluate changes to the policy script in real time, enabling you
to determine if the changes that are applied render the policy compliant or
non-compliant.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_pace.admin

## About this task

The Test Playground enables you to apply changes to the policy script, and see the
impact of those changes in real time. After the changes have been evaluated, save
the script to ensure that the changes are implemented when the policy is next
invoked.

## Procedure

1. In the Policy builder tab, select the Test playground icon ![Test playground icon.]() in the right-hand menu.
2. In the Test parameters tab, fill in the forms as needed.  
   {#pace-test-policy-version__table_rnc_mw4_1xb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Document | The document that you want to test the policy version with. Note: This field will change depending on which application PaCE is being used. |
   | Log level | Level of the log. |
   | Timeout | Timeout to determine the execution threshold of the test. |
   | Execution log | Execution tag for the policy version. |
   | Verbose | Option to make the test display in a verbose format. |
   [Table 1. Test options fields]

   {#pace-test-policy-version__table_rnc_mw4_1xb}
3. Under the API parameters and Config parameters tabs, select the variables you want to test with the policy version.
4. When you are done modifying your policy script, click Run Test.  
   A decision is reached regarding the compliance or non-compliance of the policy, based on the changes you made to the script. In the Test Parameters section, either Compliant or Non-compliant is displayed, along with additional output on any warnings or failures, and how long the evaluation took.  
   Note:  
   A decision with Compliant with exception will not work with a custom decision.
