Projects

FireFlink is an AI-powered, high-speed, scriptless test automation platform designed to streamline the creation, execution, and management of automated test scripts for different applications. It supports seamless integration with various tools and provides robust features for efficient test lifecycle management. It is classified into two levels;

1. All Projects Level or License Level
2. Individual Project Level or Project Level

The All Projects level, also called License Level, offers a comprehensive overview of each project's key details, including the project name, type (such as Web, Web & Mobile, Mobile, Web Services, Salesforce and MS Dynamics), and status (Opened, Closed, or Archived). It also displays information about the last user who modified the project and the timestamp of the modification. From this section, users can conveniently perform actions like editing, deleting, archiving, or unarchiving projects, all within the same section. This is where the user creates the project.

Navigation

1. Once we log in to FireFlink, the user will be landed on the All Projects Level by default.
2. This section allows users to create and manage projects within the License.

Steps to create a Project

The ‘+Project’ button, located in the top right corner of the screen, is used to initiate the creation of a new project.

Upon clicking this button, a slider window titled "Create Project" will appear, allowing users to enter the necessary project details.

• The "Create Project" slider window contains three key fields: Name, Type, and Description.
  • Name: This is a required field where you enter the name of the project.
  • Type: Also a mandatory field, it allows you to select the project type from a dropdown menu. FireFlink offers multiple project types like Webservices, Web, Mobile, Web & Mobile, Salesforce and MS Dynamics options to choose from. (Note: Once the Project is created, we will not be able to change the Project type.)
  • Description: This optional field is used to add relevant details or context about the project being created.

To create a Web-type project, follow these steps:

• Provide an application name in the Project Name field (mandatory).
• Select "Web" as the project type from the dropdown list (mandatory).

• After selecting the "Web" type, an additional field will appear prompting the user to enter the URL of the application (this field is optional and can be skipped).

• Once all required fields are filled, click the Create button.

• Once the project is created, the user will be redirected to the Test Dev section at the Individual Project Level.

NOTE: Likewise, users can create Web Services, Mobile, Web & Mobile, Salesforce, and MS Dynamics project types by simply selecting the desired option from the given Type dropdown menu.

Individual Project Level

• The Individual Project Level, also called Project Level in FireFlink, refers to the specific workspace where testing resources for a specific project are created, organized, and managed.
• It allows users to configure project-specific settings such as test development, environment setup, defect management platforms, and automation suites.
• Each project functions independently, enabling tailored execution, tracking, and reporting based on the requirements of that particular project.

You can re-open a Project from Closed Status using the same Status Toggle Buttonunder the Edit Project Slider.
  • On Hold: Projects are marked as On Hold when the project work is temporarily paused due to reasons such as dependency issues, environment problems, client delays, or resource unavailability.On Hold projects are not active but may be resumed later. These projects cannot be archived or deleted unless the status is changed to Closed.
  • Descope: Projects are marked as Descope when the project or specific scope of work has been removed from the project plan or is no longer required. This status indicates that the project will not continue further.

Archived projects are disabled, cannot be modified, cannot be viewed and do not allow linking any information or project details. They can be deleted if needed. iii. You can unarchive a project if needed; it will then be set to Closed status by default.
