Get started
This guide is designed for newcomers to DogQ who want to get started with the no-code testing platform. Learn how to create your first project, module, and scenario.
After registration you can create your first Project.
By clicking on the "New Project" button, you will be forwarded to the Project creation page. But only the "Name" field is mandatory, so let’s skip all other fields for now. Here we cover these additional features.
Project is the central entity of DogQ. You can create all application Modules and Scenarios in the Project and later monitor them with the Test Runs. We will talk about these terms next.
DogQ Modules may represent the actual modules of your app. They will contain the scenarios that you can execute individually or schedule in batches and then monitor the results in real-time.
Let's add the first Module. In this case we will be testing our app, so our first Module will be called "Authorization". After creating the Module you will be redirected right into it, then you can start writing your first Scenario.
The Scenario is an actual Test Case within the DogQ. It contains a set of automated steps defined by you and is a part of your application modules. Scenarios can be scheduled in groups or executed on an individual basis.
After creating the "Authorization" Module previously, you can click on the "New Scenario" button. You will need to specify the Scenario name, and then you will be redirected to your newly created Scenario.
If you make a step back, you'll see the page with all Scenarios in the specific Module ("Authorization" in this case). On this page you can check the latest status of your Scenario (Status), see the number of Steps within the specific Scenario (Steps), and the overall number of this scenario executions within DogQ (Runs).
At the "Log In" Scenario page let's add the first step now - you can do this by clicking on the "Add Step" button.
You can view different step types used within the Scenario by opening "Select Type". A full description of the available test steps is here.
For our first Scenario, let's open the DogQ home page and validate that "Log In" button is present. For that, we need to define the first step as Go to URL and enter the address of the DogQ home page (https://dogq.io).
Now let's add a Find Element step and locate the "Log In" button. To identify the button we need to use the Locator (find more info on different locators here). In this case let's use the button label as a locator ("Log In").
Now we have our first Scenario with the steps, and it's time to execute it!
To execute your Scenario, you can click on the "Execute" button to immediately initiate the Test Run.
You can find the current execution status inside the Test Runs block on the Scenario page or in the dedicated Test Runs page that you can access from the navigation side panel.
Depending on the progress, Test Executions can have one of the following statuses:
- Pending - Scenario execution started. You can also check the completion percentage.
- Passed - All steps completed successfully.
- Failed - One of the execution steps failed.
You can always check the execution details by clicking on the scenario name within the Test Runs block, or the Test Runs page.
