Goals and Challenges - Running a Test Challenge

Overview

This article explains the advantages of running test challenges before your official challenge. It is aimed at client admins.

We recommend admins new to the Goals & Challenges platform run a test challenge before creating an official challenge. This allows you, the admin, to learn the platform and avoid mistakes before running an official challenge. Test challenges allow you to better prepare for what to expect during your official challenge. This can also help you anticipate user questions and arm you with the right answers to any user questions.

Note: This features it not relevant for all plan types. Test challenges are only available to clients who are set as 'One Time Challenge' in the WIM (i.e. the Goals and Challenges Admin Center).

Restrictions

Test challenges are limited to 45 days or less. To simulate a real challenge environment, test challenges can include up to 5 participants.

When You Should Run a Test Challenge

We recommend running your first test challenge before you start your main challenge. You’ll want to understand the basic features of the app to better plan your programming, and to feel prepared for things like how it'll look and feel, and practise running challenge reports to see final results.
