Test Policy Rules

Test the traffic policy matches of the running firewall configuration.
Test the policy rules in your running configuration to ensure that your policies appropriately allow and deny traffic and access to applications and websites in compliance with your business needs and requirements. You can test and verify that your policy rules are allowing and denying the correct traffic by executing policy match tests for your firewalls directly from the web interface.
