Test the waters

means to try something carefully before fully committing — to see how it feels or what might happen. 

Examples:

1- Imagine someone is thinking about changing jobs, but they’re not completely sure. So instead of quitting immediately, they start applying to a few positions just to test the waters.

2- In business, companies often launch a small version of a product to test the waters before investing more time and money.
