# Testing statement processing

When testing PingOne Authorize policies, you can enable statement processing to test API request and response transformations without using an external testing service.

## Before you begin

Make sure you have defined an [API service](p1az_add_api_service.html), as well as a custom policy with transformational statements protecting that service.

## About this task

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                             |

|   | PingOne Authorize only processes built-in statements defined in custom policies and rules for API services. For more information, see [Statement templates](p1az_statement_templates.html). |

## Steps

1. Go to **Authorization > Policies**.

2. Select the policy that you want to test, and then click the **Test** tab.

3. Define test parameters.

4. Select the **Process Statements** check box, and select **REQUEST** or **RESPONSE** depending on which stage of the API request flow you want to test.

5. In the **API Request** form, configure the testing scenario.

6. Click **Execute**.

   ### Result:

   The **Visualization** tab shows test results. The **Processing Result** tab displays the transformed API request or response body with statements applied, along with any specified URI and headers. This tab is only displayed if you enabled statement processing.

   This tab also displays full and partial statement processing failures, including the code of the failed statement and a description of the failure.
