Creating Projects

Note

Quick Start Overview

Creating a project on RobusTest is your first step towards comprehensive mobile app testing. This process typically takes 2-3 minutes and sets up your complete testing workspace.

On RobusTest, all activity related to the testing of a mobile app will be part of a Project.

A Project is a logical workspace that contains all builds, test cases, test suites, test runs and test reports associated with your application testing. It also facilitates team collaboration and project organization.
