Test & Validate Admin only
Use the Test & Validate page to verify PII recognizer behaviour with sample data before applying patterns to production workflows. Testing ensures recognizers detect the intended data without excessive false positives.
Enter sample data
Provide sample text or data that contains the personal data type you want to test. Include edge cases and variations that the recognizer should handle.
Run the test
Execute the test to see which recognizers match the sample data and where. Review the match results, confidence scores, and any false positives.
Refine and re-test
Adjust recognizer patterns based on test results and re-test until the behaviour meets your accuracy requirements.
