How to mimic a user when testing

Hello!

My app is going to have three different types of users; each with different permissions, icons, etc. I’ve been trying to think of a way to test how the app reacts to the different users, and all I’ve come up with is creating dummy users under each role. Is that the best method to do this, or is there a more efficient way?

Thanks!!

Yeah, pretty much (that’s how you would do it as a coder as well). One trick to do this is to do, if you have 3 type of users ‘parent’, ‘student’, ‘teacher’, is to use your email name@gmail.com and use name+parent@gmail.com, name+student@gmail.com, etc. as it will just get to your email and is easy to remember :slight_smile:
