Customers just sign into AppSource.com using their Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Entra ID) account and run the app in a web browser. Without Test Drive, customers can only read about your app or watch a video that describes it. With Test Drive, customers get a better idea of what your solution is and what functionality your app has. And they have the experience of actually using the app. Customers won't be able to look under the hood to see how your app is built, so your intellectual property is protected. We collect and share lead information with you to help you grow your business. +A Test Drive solution enables your customers to try out a real app without installing any applications.

Using a data source that's already set up will mean there is zero friction for them to try it out. The full solution that you ultimately distribute to customers will include writable data, but read-only data works well for a Test Drive solution. +Building an app for a Test Drive solution is just like building any app, but you need to use a data source that the user can be granted access to as a read-only user.
