After creating your Process in Talend Studio, this Process is usually called by Talend MDM web service. However, it is possible to run the Process from within Talend Studio itself.

## Before you begin

You have already connected to the MDM server from Talend Studio. At least one Process exists.

## Procedure

1. In the MDM Repository tree view, expand the Event Management and Process nodes and then double-click the Process you want to execute in order to open the corresponding editor.

2. Double-click the Process you want to test and then click the ![](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/Resources/images/Execute_Icon.png) icon in the upper right corner of the process editor.

   A dialog box opens. ![](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/Resources/images/process_execute3.png)
3. From the Input Variables list, select \_DEFAULT\_ and select text/xml from the Content Type list.
4. Click the Pick a record from a container button to select the desired record from a container. For more information, see [Selecting a record from a container when testing a Process](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0/selecting-record-from-container-when-testing-process).
5. Click OK to run the Process.

   A progress information bar is shown and then a result dialog box opens. If the results are HTML, for example if you are testing a Smart View Process, you have the option of clicking the Display In Browser button to view the results in your default Web browser.

## What to do next

This result will show that your Process works correctly. What you must do now is to define a Trigger in order to call the process from that Trigger. For further information, see [Creating a Trigger](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0/creating-trigger).
