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