# Step 5: Test the Application

You can test your application directly from the **Services** page.

*Estimated time to complete Step 5 and finish tutorial: 10 minutes.*

## Prerequisites

Before creating a Load Balancer, verify that you accomplished the tasks in the previous tutorial steps. Using the DuploCloud Portal, confirm that:

* An [Infrastructure and Plan](/docs/automation-platform/overview-1/quick-start/step-1-infrastructure.md) exist, both with the name you created.
* The Infrastructure you created has [GKE Enabled](/docs/automation-platform/overview-1/quick-start/step-1-infrastructure.md).
* A [Tenant](/docs/automation-platform/overview-2/quick-start/step-2-tenant.md) with the name you chose has been created.
* A [Service](/docs/automation-platform/overview-1/quick-start/create-a-service-with-gke-autopilot/step-3-create-app-via-k8s.md) with the name you chose has been created.
* An [Application Load Balancer](/docs/automation-platform/overview-1/quick-start/create-a-service-with-gke-autopilot/step-4-create-a-load-balancer.md) has been created.

### Select the Tenant you created

In the **Tenant** list box, on the upper-left side of the DuploCloud Portal, select the Tenant that you created.

## Testing the Application

1. In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Kubernetes -> Services. The **Services** page displays.
2. From the **Name** column, click on the Service you created.
3. Click the **Load Balancers** tab. The Application Load Balancer configuration is displayed.
4. In the **LB Configuration** card, click the Copy Icon ( <img src="/files/5261gHN3Bqsotzdm7Y86" alt="" data-size="line"> ) to copy the **IP Address** to your clipboard.
