How to test splunk alerts created via python SDK

RS
Engager

Hi, I am creating alerts in my splunk instance using splunk python SDK. I am using example libraries/API as mentioned ---> splunklib.client and saved_searches.create

The alerts are created and also scheduled via cron successfully.

Is there a way  for me to allow users ability to test the newly created or existing alerts using python SDK interface? That is as soon as alerts are created they should get fired and user who created them can get a results of all triggered alerts.

Thanks
