I have generated a HLS adaptive streaming playlist with 3 different quality of videos using AWS elastic transcoder, which is configured to stream over cloudfront.
How do I test if this playlist is properly adapting based on the internet speed and other parameters?

If you have access to Apple's HTTP Live Streaming tools, you can validate your HLS video streams by using the mediastreamvalidator tool.
Alternatively, you could try using a web proxy that allows bandwidth throttling, such as Charles or Fiddler. Try altering the bandwidth setting then check if the player fetches a different playlist that corresponds to the (simulated) bandwidth available.
