# Testing Your Integration

> Use test credentials to develop and test your Para integration without creating real users

## Overview

Para provides test credentials for the `BETA` environment to help you develop and test your integration without creating real user accounts. This guide explains how to use test accounts and manage your testing workflow effectively.

## Test Credentials

### Email Testing

For email-based authentication testing in the `BETA` environment:

* Use any email ending in `@test.getpara.com`
* Examples: `dev@test.getpara.com`, `test1@test.getpara.com`, `user123@test.getpara.com`
* **Any OTP code will work** for verification (e.g., `123456`, `000000`, `111111`)
* Perfect for testing email-based authentication flows

</Frame>

### Phone Number Testing

For SMS-based authentication testing in the BETA environment:

* Use US phone numbers (+1) in format: `(area code)-555-xxxx`
* Examples: `(425)-555-1234`, `(206)-555-9876`, `(310)-555-0001`
* **Any OTP code will work** for verification
* Ideal for testing phone-based authentication flows

## Important Testing Notes

<Warning>
  These test credentials **only work in the BETA Environment**. They will not work in production. Make sure your Para SDK is configured for the BETA environment when using these credentials.
</Warning>

### User Limits

* Beta accounts are limited to **50 users**
* If you reach the 50 user limit, you will need to delete users to continue testing
* Regular cleanup helps you stay within limits during development

### Managing Test Users

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access Developer Portal">
    Navigate to your [Para Developer Portal](https://developer.getpara.com) and log in with your developer credentials
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Users Section">
    Click on "Users" in the left sidebar. You'll be taken to a list of users for your API key where you can see the identifier and login method for each user.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete Individual Users">
    Click on any user to open a drawer with user details. Inside the drawer, click "Delete User" to remove that specific user.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete All Users (Bulk Delete)">
    If you need to clear all test users at once, use the "Delete All Users" button available on the users page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Important:** Deleting users is only possible while in the BETA environment. In production, wallets are permanent and cannot be deleted.
</Note>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Test credentials not working">
    * Verify you're using the BETA environment
    * Check that the email ends exactly with `@test.getpara.com`
    * Ensure phone numbers follow the `(xxx)-555-xxxx` format
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Reached 50 user limit">
    * Access the Developer Portal to delete unused test users
    * Consider using a naming convention to identify old test accounts
    * Set up automated cleanup in your test suite
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="OTP verification failing">
    * Confirm you're in BETA environment (not production)
    * Any numeric OTP should work (e.g., "123456")
    * Check for typos in the test credentials
  </Accordion>
