Creating a new user group

Return to the main admin page and click on the Groups link under the Auth section and then click the Add group button in the top right.

Set the Name field to Physics and choose the following set of permissions:

• qa | test instance | Can view test history
• qa | test instance | Can view charts of test history
• qa | test instance | Can review tests
• qa | test instance | Can review & approve self-performed tests
• qa | test instance | Can skip without comment
• qa | test list instance | Can add test list instance
• qa | test list instance | Can perform subset of tests
• qa | test list instance | Can view previously completed instances
• qa | test list instance | Can change test list instance
• qa | frequency | Choose QA by Frequency
• qa | test list instance | Can override date
• qa | unit test info | Can view Refs and Tols

• qa | unit test collection | Can view TLI and UTC not visible to user's groups

Your group should look like the following:

Click Save and you will now see your new group in the listings page.

The last step is to add yourself to the Physics group. Visit your user profile by going to the Users section under the Auth section and clicking on your username.

On the next page find the Groups select box and select Physics.

Click on Save to finalize the addition of yourself to the Physics group.

Creating test statuses

We are going to create two test statuses; first an Unreviewed status which will be the default status given to test data when they are performed and second an Approved status that can be applied to the tests after they have been reviewed.

From the main admin page click on the Statuses link under the QA section and click the Add test instance status button in the top right.

Give the status a Name of Unreviewed, a Slug of unreviewed and a description of Default status for tests which have just been completed.. Next, check off the Is default checkbox and then click Save and add another.

Create an Approved status similar to the Unreviewed status but this time leave the Is default box unchecked and also uncheck the Requires review checkbox. Click Save when you're finished.

You should now see your two statuses in the listing.

Now that we have done the initial configuration we can begin to cover test and test list configuration. This is covered in the next step of the tutorial.
