How to trigger an alert / what generates an alert
To trigger Azure Security Center alerts you can either create a custom rule in the ASC blade, or on an ASC protected VM, rename any .exe file to ASC_AlertTest_662jfi039N.exe.
For Identity Protection, the easiest way I know to generate a test alert is to use the Tor browser to log in to your Microsoft services (Azure portal or O365 portal). This will generate an alert which says you logged in from an anonymous IP address.

Thanks Jason,
Just tried your suggestion, and I can confirm it triggers an alert - just what I needed :-)
