# Testing your documentation – updates in API doc course

> Testing your documentation is such an important part of tech writing that I decided to expand the sections on testing docs in my API doc course. I actually grouped these pages into their own section, amplifying the content with more detail and better organization.

Here are the pages on testing your documentation:

- [Set up a test environment](https://idratherbewriting.com/learnapidoc/testingdocs_test_environment.html)
- [Test all instructions yourself](https://idratherbewriting.com/learnapidoc/testingdocs_test_your_instructions.html)
- [Test your assumptions](https://idratherbewriting.com/learnapidoc/testingdocs_testing_assumptions.html)
