Details

Test a Notification configuration. The test mimics whatever the Notification configuration will do when the event described in test.event.type occurs. For example, if a Notification has been configured to send an email any time an Assignment is Submitted, testing for an AssignmentSubmitted event should trigger an email. Similarly, testing for an AssignmentReturned event should do nothing.

notificationtest is an alias.
