These are ‘test addresses’ you can use during the test or development phase for your project. They will not be counted against any quotas or limits that may be added to the system. (As of this writing, there aren’t any).
You need to click the ‘Allow Test Addresses’ setting in the Admin panel for these addresses to work. Other, non-test addresses will continue to work normally, and any billing or limits or costs on those addresses will work as normal. This setting is not recommended for Production!
BASIC TESTS
These always return the same thing, no matter what.
| Address | Value |
|---|---|
| good@test.goodforms.com | always GOOD, no matter how often called |
| bad@test.goodforms.com | always BAD, no matter how often called |
| challenge@test.goodforms.com | always CHALLENGE |
| error@test.goodforms.com | always returns an error, simulates an ‘internal error’ on our end (will actually return HTTP Status code 500!) |
DETAILED TESTS
These will return different values based on form configuration, and the health of the IP you are submitting from:
| Address | Value |
|---|---|
| valid@test.goodforms.com | The default treatment for ‘valid’ addresses (almost always ‘GOOD’) |
| invalid@test.goodforms.com | however your form handles ‘invalid’ addresses (always ‘BAD’) |
| unknown@test.goodforms.com | The default treatment for ‘Unknown’ addresses |
| catchall@test.goodforms.com | The default treatment for ‘Catch-all’ addresses |
SPECIAL DELAY TEST:
This is good for testing how you will handle a slow response from our server:
| Address | Value |
|---|---|
| slow-{mode}-{n}@test.goodforms.com | wait ‘n’ seconds before returning ‘mode’ (for the above modes) |
e.g. slow-good-15@test.goodforms.com would wait 15 seconds before returning a ‘good’ result (based on your form settings and number of submissions, etc.)
CERTIFICATION TESTS:
| Address | Value |
|---|---|
| nocredits@test.goodforms.com | A ‘GOOD’ verification, but when you submit it, and you try to certify it, it will act like you’re out of credits |
| badchecksum@test.goodforms.com | A seemingly ‘GOOD’ verification, but it will fail certification |
UNIQUENESS CHECKS:
You can use a google-style +something extension to guarantee uniqueness - e.g. -
good+123@test.goodforms.com - will always be GOOD
