# Testing Your Agent

> Validate your agent before deploying to production.

Testing is the difference between a great agent and a frustrating one. Atoms gives you three ways to test, so you can catch issues before real callers do.

**Location:** Top right → **Test Agent** button

## Three Test Modes

#### Web Call

**Voice call in your browser.** Quick and convenient - no phone needed.

Best for rapid testing during development.

#### Telephony Call

#### Chat
