# Test your provider

Check that your configured provider can answer a model request.

1. Open the `BurpGPT Pro` tab and select `Provider settings`.
2. Review the provider, base URL, API key, model, timeout, and request parameters.
3. Click `Test request`.
4. Review the result displayed in the dialog.

The test sends a model request using the same provider configuration as targeted analysis, active scanning, and AI Chat. It uses the role and prompt currently configured in `AI scanner`, with placeholders left as literal text. It does not attach the selected HTTP exchange or create a Burp issue. Any text you have written directly into that prompt is sent to the provider, and the request may incur provider usage charges.

A successful test confirms that the provider can respond to the test request. It does not guarantee that a larger scan prompt will fit the model's context limit or finish within the configured timeout.

If the test fails, inspect the request and response in Burp's `Logger`. Common causes include an incorrect model identifier, unsupported parameters, authentication failures, rate limits, insufficient quota, and connection problems.
