Amazon Step Functions TestState now available in Amazon Web Services China Regions

Posted on: Jun 22, 2025

Amazon Step Functions now offers TestState in Amazon Web Services China Regions. This expansion allows customers operating in these regions to test individual states of their workflows without creating or updating existing state machines, enhancing the development and troubleshooting process for their application.

Amazon Step Functions is a visual workflow service that enables customers to build distributed applications, automate IT and business processes, and build data and machine learning pipelines. TestState allows developers to validate a state's input and output processing, test service integrations, and verify HTTP task requests and responses.

With TestState now available in the Amazon Web Services China Regions, customers can test and validate individual workflow steps. TestState supports various state types including Task, Pass, Wait, Choice, Succeed, and Fail, with tests running for up to five minutes.

This feature is now generally available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To learn more about TestState and how to incorporate it into your workflow development process, visit the [Amazon Step Functions documentation in China]. You can start testing your workflow states using the Amazon Step Functions console, Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI), or Amazon SDKs.
