AWS – AWS Step Functions TestState now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

AWS Step Functions now offers TestState in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. This expansion allows customers operating in these regions to test individual states of their workflows without creating or updating existing state machines, helping to enhance the development and troubleshooting process for their applications.

AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service that enables customers to build distributed applications, automate IT and business processes, and build data and machine learning pipelines using AWS services. TestState allows developers to validate a state’s input and output processing, test AWS service integrations, and verify HTTP task requests and responses.

With TestState now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, customers can test and validate individual workflow steps. TestState supports various state types including Task, Pass, Wait, Choice, Succeed, and Fail, with tests running for up to five minutes.

This feature is now generally available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions, in addition to all commercial regions where AWS Step Functions is available. To learn more about TestState and how to incorporate it into your workflow development process, visit the AWS Step Functions documentation. You can start testing your workflow states using the Step Functions console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs.
