Create a new project

In order to save time, when creating a new project, you can choose whether to clone (copy) the structure of an existing project you have. Or, to create a project based on a relevant template.

If you choose to clone from an existing project, you will have the option to choose from which project you would like to clone and what configuration settings of this project you want in your new project.

You can independently choose to copy your fields (custom and system), your user groups and workflow, and/or your users and their groups’ assignments.

When selecting the “choose from template” option, you will have the option to choose the method according to which you want your project structure to be. Your options will be:

1. Traditional - supports waterfall and similar with ready-made fields, filters and dashboard items to support cycles, features, sub-features, Test Level and Build.
2. Agile - Supports Agile DevOps and Agile like with ready-made fields, filter and dashboard items to support Release, Sprint, Build, Feature, Sub-feature and Test level
3. Traditional + Automation - supports waterfall and similar with ready-made fields, filters and dashboard items to support cycles, features, sub-features, Test Level, Build and different execution types (manual and automated).
4. Agile + Automation - Supports Agile DevOps and Agile like with ready-made fields, filter, and dashboard items to support Release, Sprint, Build, Feature, Sub-feature, Test level and different execution types (manual and automated).
5. Start from scratch - No predefined custom fields, filters or dashboard items. Creates a clean empty new project.

For full information about each template, please click on it or click the “What are the differences?” link at the bottom and compare all options.

Once you press “Create my new project” the new project will be created with the elements of the template you chose and will appear in the project drop-down list at the top left side of your screen next to the “search” tab.

Note: Although PractiTest does not limit the number of projects you can have in your account, at the beginning, your account will be limited to 4 active projects. The reason for this is to make sure that you are using projects correctly and not creating unnecessary overhead to your users. To lift this limitation simply contact our support team and they will explain to you how to add additional projects.

• See all existing projects and included users
• Enable / Disable / Delete whole projects
