Quick start tests

Copy and customize quick start tests provided by the Now Platform® to validate that your instance works after you make any configuration changes. For example, if you apply an upgrade or develop an application.

The tests can only produce a pass result when you run them with the default demo data that's provided with the application or feature plugin.

Note: If your QST fails, it can be that the test doesn’t match your instance customizations. Use the Notes field for each test step to update the test to pass with your data. If you have customized the business process associated with a test, revise the test to match your customizations.

To apply a quick start test to your instance-specific data, copy the quick start test and add your custom data.

Note: You can copy either individual quick start test or the entire quick start tests suite.

Activation

Each application or feature has its own plugin activation requirements for enabling quick start tests. See Available quick start tests by application or feature for activation information.

Managing copies

When you copy a test, Automated Test Framework populates the Copied from field with the name of the copied test. When an upgrade changes a quick start test Automated Test Framework notifies test designers about the change in a notification on the test form. Test designers can revert the copied test to the upgraded version with the Revert Copy to Base System UI action.

Tip: If a QST is updated, the previously copied versions of the QST won't have the recent changes. Review the old copies using Copies to Review for all the tests that have an associated warning message.
