Use to compare a template with its sandbox. Pass the raw code in nowikis as the first unnamed parameter; the existing template as the second, and the sandbox as the third. The optional named parameter |id= is used as a heading (to describe the test being performed); if |id= is omitted, parameter 1 is used. The optional named parameter |layout= determines whether the live and sandbox outputs are displayed side by side or on top of each other. The default value is vertical (on top of each other). A value of horizontal will produce side by side output.
If the pair of test codes in parameters 2 and 3 both produce the same output, then the test case is displayed in a collapsed table with a green heading. If the test codes produce different output (this includes white space differences), then the test is displayed in an uncollapsed table with a yellow heading.
Note that some more complex templates may cause testcases to be highlighted even when their output is the same. The cause of this is under investigation...
{{testcase|id=title and url
|layout=horizontal
|<nowiki>{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}</nowiki>|{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}|{{citation/sandbox|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}}}
If the sandbox code in parameter 3 gives the same output as the non-sandbox code in parameter 2:
'"`UNIQ--templatestyles-00000011-QINU`"'<citeclass="citation cs2">[http://example.org ''Test'']</cite><spantitle="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Test&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.org&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ATemplate%3ATestcase%2Fsandbox"class="Z3988"></span> content of the differing output
