Test Mode

Use the test mode feature to verify that you successfully integrated particular ad networks from among those that MAX mediates.

To enable test mode, define a test device and select a network in the Test Mode section of your MAX account. After you enable test mode for a device, when that device makes an ad request to the network it does so with the network’s test mode enabled. The device also receives detailed device logs.

When you turn off Test Mode on your device, your ad units revert to using the configuration listed in the MAX Ad Units page. In addition to using Test Mode in the dashboard, AppLovin recommends that you use Mediation Debugger Test Ads on your devices. This is a quick way to test integration.

To enable Test Mode, select MAX > Mediation > Manage > Test Mode and click + Add Test Device.
