Here a short dump how to use requestbin (https://requestbin.com/) for API Management policy testing.
Navigate to

Request Bin

endpoint
Press „Generate
Test Events“ to learn how to record and inspect incoming requests

Open Azure

Inspect „Trace“ records
Switch to
requestbin and inspect incoming request
Back to API

Enter
policy to test, for example

<base
/>
<set-body>@(context.Request.Body.As<String>().ToUpper())</set-body>
</inbound>
<backend>
<base
/>
</backend>
<outbound>
<base
/>
</outbound>
<on-error>
<base

</on-error>
</policies>
Be aware to enter policy on the right place (selected operation, all
operations etc.), save it finally
Return to
Test pane, enter test request data, send the request
Inspect
