+## How to Test Changes
+
+### Odo
+`odo create` and `odo push` to test devfile changes. See [Odo Doc](https://odo.dev/docs/using-odo/create-component) for more details.
+
+### Che
+Opening the URL `https://workspaces.openshift.com/#<repository_url>` in your browser should start a workspace where `exec` commands run successfully. Type `task+<space>` in the IDE command palette to see the list of available commands.
+
+### Console
+In developer view, create an application via `Import from Git`. Provide git repository Url and verify if the application can be built and ran successfully. 
+Note: Currently Console only works with devfile v2.2.0 samples with outer loop support.
