Configuring Required Assets - Quick Start Task

Before you can start building up your testing framework, you need to at least configure a project and a product and, if you plan to create automated tests, also a source control profile. You may also need to configure certain other settings, like filters, properties, attributes, etc. You need SuperUser, administrator, or project manager privileges to perform these tasks.

To configure the required assets, you will need to perform the following tasks.

  1. Adding Projects
    Silk Central manages requirements, tests, their execution and the results in the context of a project. Therefore the first thing you have to do is to create a project.
  2. Adding Products
    Silk Central tracks results of test executions in the context of versions and builds of one specific product. Therefore a Product needs to be defined before tests can be created.
  3. Configuring Source Control Profiles
    For automated tests, another requirement for test creation is a Source Control Profile. Automated tests in Silk Central actually represent test scripts that are located in source control systems, which are accessed via such source control profiles.
