How to test Azure Marketplace offer? - azure

I created VM for publishing on Azure Marketplace. But I want to test it before I publish it for all. Besides, the publication takes several days.
How to test my offer before publishing on Azure Marketplace?
UPDATE:
I see next screen on Cloud Partner Portal:
Should I publish offer before I can test it?

what you want to test exactly? you can test the ui definition and template separately. you will also have to undergo testing from MS before publication, this readme talks about it in some detail.
You would test template like you normally would.

When you click the Publish button, your offer will be just validated and in preview mode for the subscriptions list you can specify in your offer. This validation takes 40 - 80 minutes.
After that you can send your offer for manual validation by Microsoft engineers, it takes 3-5 days, and your application will be published on Azure Marketplace

Disable preview stage for offer in Azure's Cloud Partner Portal

We use the Cloud Partner Portal to manage the status of our offers.
The publishing process includes a preview stage where qualification can be made for the offer.
To advance to the next stage, I have to manually select the Go live option.
I would like to skip this stage (also know as the preview stage) and go live directly, without having to manually go through this step.
Is it possible to achieve this?
The preview page is where publishers can specify the audience to have access to their offer preview, to verify that the offer meets all your requirements before it goes live.
Currently, the option to directly publish the offer to Live is not available.

Submit trial version of application on azure marketplace

I would like to submit an offering to the Azure Marketplace but I want the offering to be a trial version only. So, the user will have access to it for a certain period only and it will be free.
The offering I want to submit is a VM offering and right now I have an image of the VM ready.
I did not find much information on how can I achieve this or whether it is possible to only submit the trial version on Azure marketplace.
If you want to create a trial version VM offer, please set License Model as "Usage-based monthly billed SKU" in SKU tab when you create offer. For more details, please refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace/cloud-partner-portal/virtual-machine/cpp-skus-tab.

I am confused on how to start developing the market place apps. I mean which project template i should use to develop an Market place App.

You may check the process outlined in this document Publish and manage an offer in the Azure Marketplace - this article is provided to help - create, deploy, and manage solutions listed in the Azure Marketplace.
Refer to the Marketplace Publisher Guide and Azure managed applications in the Marketplace for details.
Publish a Solution Template: Based on your requirement, you could use the solution templates which allows you to combine multiple items already available in the marketplace to create more powerful solutions.
Whereas, the ‘Publish a Developer Service’ provides fully managed developer services (SAAS) for developers to use in custom application development.
Note: Solutions Template has migrated to the new Cloud Partner Portal (requires registration prior to access).
Additionally, check the Marketplace FAQs (here): Who do I contact with publishing or offer management questions? : Please visit the Azure Marketplace Publisher Guide for up-to-date resource and documentations on frequently asked questions. Additionally, you can log a ticket with Microsoft Support in the Cloud Partner Portal.

Can I link multiple Azure subscription to single Team Services accounts(VSTS)?

So I have a single Visual studio account with 3 project in it and I have three different azure subscription for deploying these projects. But I can able to link one of the subscription to VSTS. But other two are I am not able to do linking.
I did some searching on this stuff got a link saying that it is not possible : 1
So can anybody help me on this situation.
You can only link a single subscription to a VSTS account.
That is however for paying for services for VSTS. For deployment you can setup as many connections as you like on the Services tab in the administration.
You can add as many Service Endpoints as you like then use them in Tasks in both Build and Release.

There is a complete and documented process for that.
