# Test data connection with a dummy video

### Why Test with a Dummy Video?

To ensure seamless data integration, it's crucial to test with a dummy MP5 video. This allows developers and testers to confirm that data connections between the video, HTML page, and personalized data are correctly established.

For project-specific QA, use Platform Simulation to test the actual Dynamic Data fields and selected lineup for the MP5 project.

### How to Test

Use the dummy video to validate data integration across various platforms—whether it's a webpage, CRM campaign, or mobile interface. Once your video design is finalized, simply swap out the dummy video with the final version in the SDK.

### Parameters and Testing

The dummy video accepts a variety of parameters—texts, numbers, media, etc. For testing, use only the parameters essential to your use case. For instance, to test an automated email sent from Hubspot upon a product purchase, you can use the following parameters

```jsx
data = {
  TEXT: {
    parameter_text_1: "contact.first_name",
    parameter_text_2: "delivery set to " + "delivery.time",
  },
  IMAGES: {
    parameter_image_1: "delivery.product.image_main",
  },
  LINKS: {
    parameter_url_1: "delivery.verify_deeplink",
  },
};
```

A successful test will display a dummy video featuring the user's name, delivery details, etc. Note that variable names will be updated to match those in the final video once it’s ready.
