Power Automate offers a very good platform to test the flow logic. The testing process actually runs the business logic, and so you shouldn't test flows on your production (live) system. The flow user interface (as demonstrated in the How to do it...section) can be used to observe inputs and outputs, as well as investigate errors.

Presently, the feature only lets you test the last five flow runs.
