Testing Your Integration with Clever

To test your integration with Clever, you have several options for testing with sandbox districts. You can test your sync against three data sets: a default sandbox district, a larger Clever USD, and a Certification ISD, or create your own custom sandbox district.

Testing with a Default Sandbox District

When you sign up for a dev app, a sandbox district is automatically created and linked to your dev app. The naming convention is {dev app name} Sandbox, and you can find it listed as a district in your dashboard on the "Home" tab.

The default sandbox district has:

• 5 schools
• 33 sections
• 41 users
  • 7 teachers
  • 14 students
  • 14 student contacts
  • 6 school admins

Each dev app is given its own sandbox dataset, so the instance is unique to your app.

You can download the default district CSVs to test other users here.

Testing with Clever USD

You can also download CSVs for a larger dataset to populate your default sandbox district here. This district includes:

• 239 schools
• 25,843 or more sections
• 460,000 or more enrollments
• 65,503 or more users
  • 8,412 or more teachers
  • 56,635 or more students
  • 6 staff

Testing with Certification ISD

Another option is to connect to a centralized dataset that:

1. Contains known edge cases and "unclean data" you can use to verify that your integration can handle these correctly. This allows you to test the worst of the worst district data. To facilitate the generation of these edge cases, this dataset automatically rotates between 3 days of data every 3 days.

   The full list of edge cases and the users that fulfill each one can be found in this spreadsheet: Certification ISD Edge Cases.

   The raw data can be found here: Certification ISD.

2. Allows you to test Events syncs. If you are looking to test events, you can leverage the automatic rotating nature of this sandbox to process the event stream.

   If you'd like to do this, please reach out to [email protected] with the name of your dev app and a request to connect to the Certification ISD sandbox district.

   Note that, unlike the auto-created sandboxes, this sandbox is centrally managed by Clever and therefore read-only; you won't be able to make any changes to this sandbox.
