Create a test script

To create a test script you first need an application and an environment. Once those are set up, you'll have access to the Create Test button on the Library page.

Clicking it opens the test creation form.

Test Name	What the test does
Test Description	Why it exists and what it proves
Folder Selection	Where it lives in the library
Test User	Microsoft applications only, see below
Template	If internal templates exist for this application, see Templates

Test User

Many Microsoft applications include a Test User dropdown. This is part of elevaite365's login logic, which is automatically added to the beginning of the test.

Set up test users first on the Setup test users page.

Templates

If templates are available for your application, you'll also see a Template dropdown. Templates are pre-built test scripts you can use as a starting point.

The dropdown lists your internal templates, the ones private to your instance. Templates published by partners live on the template marketplace and appear here once installed.

See Templates for the difference between the two.

Run it three times before you call it ready

A test that passes once has proved very little. Run a new test three times and only sign it off when all three pass. Most flakiness shows up on the second or third run, and it is far cheaper to find now than in a nightly run. See Tips & best practices.
