This “Live with Astronomer” session covers two easy ways to test and debug your Airflow connections. We show how the new dag.test() function allows you to test connections without even running Airflow, how new Airflow UI features make testing connections faster, and how to solve common issues that arise when working with connections.

Questions covered in this session include:
What is the new dag.test() function and how do I set it up?
How can I pass a connection to dag.test()?
How can I test my connections in the Airflow UI without running my DAG?
What are some upcoming Airflow 2.6 features that will make testing connections even easier?

Learn more about the new dag.test() function in our Test DAGs guide.
