# How to load test modules 

 If a CHIRP chirp developer tells you to load a module to test, follow these instructions. 

 1. Launch CHIRP. Make sure you are running the latest CHIRP-next build. If not, upgrade and start over. 
 2. Click **Help** in the menu bar and select **Load module from issue** 
 3. Key in the Issue number which has the test module attached and click the **[OK]** button 
 4. Select the driver module listed and click the **[OK]** button. If there are multiple modules attached, select the one the developer wants you to test, usually the latest/last one. 
 Your CHIRP is now running with the test driver module loaded. 
 5. Test and report back your results. Be sure to **include a debug log** per the [[How_To_Report_Issues|instructions here]]. 

 **Note:** An externally loaded driver module like this does not permanently change your CHIRP installation in any way. Once you close CHIRP you will have to re-load the driver module in order to have the added fixes or features again.
