 ====== Email Testing ======
-Sentori's editor provides an automated testing tool which can check your email for broken links, broken merge fields, missing unsubscribe links and more.
+There are 2 types of test that need to be carried out before you queue your email.
-Whilst the testing tools provided are useful, they do not replace thorough manual testing. We always recommend that you send a test email to a third party to review content, spelling, grammar, and links before you do a live send.
+  * Automated Tests - Sentori requies that you run the automated tests (fully described below) before we allow an email to be queued for sending.  Tests will need to be rerun if you make an edit to your email.
+  * You are strongly advised to send a copy of the email to your inbox and check that the email both renders correctly and that all the links work.
+You can also test email content by using a [[email-ab-testing|A/B Split Test]].
