Creating a test

You can create a test from scratch by going to the Tests module and clicking the + New Test button.

Test setup

In the initial screen, you define the overall structure of the test:

Test Name: Required. It will appear in the test list and in reports.

Test Description: Optional. You may include any notes for internal or candidate-facing purposes.

Sections: A test must contain at least one section. You can add multiple sections to group your pages logically. Each section has a name and can be removed before saving the test.

Click Save once you’ve entered the required fields. This will create the test structure and allow you to begin adding content.

Enter your test's and section's details and add more sections if needed.
