Getting started

Proba.run is a test case management system where your team plans, organizes, and tracks manual and automated testing. This page walks you through creating an account, setting up your organization, and getting to your first test case.

Organizations and projects

Every account belongs to exactly one organization — the top-level container for your team, its members, and their roles. Inside an organization you create one or more projects. A project is where the actual testing work happens: it holds folders, test cases, test runs, requirements, and milestones.

Access to a project is separate from your organization role: you only see and work with projects you have been added to as a member, unless you are an organization admin or owner, in which case you can see every project in your organization.

Creating an account

You can join Proba.run in one of two ways:

• Sign up with email. Go to the sign-up page, enter your name, email, and a password (at least 8 characters), and submit. You will be asked to check your inbox and confirm your email before you can sign in.
• Continue with Google. Use the Continue with Google button on the sign-up or login page — no separate password needed.

After confirming your email (or completing Google sign-in for the first time), you land on a short onboarding step where you name your organization. That's it — the organization is created and you become its owner.

If someone invited you to their organization, follow the link from your invitation instead of signing up on your own — see Joining an organization you were invited to below.

Organization roles

Within an organization, members have one of three roles:

Creating your first project

From the projects list, click Create project (organization admins and owners see this option). You will need:

• Name — a descriptive project name.
• Key — a short 2–3 letter uppercase code (for example QA) used as a prefix for test case and run identifiers throughout the project (QA-1, QA-2, …). The key is unique within your organization and cannot be changed later, so pick something short and memorable.

Once created, you land on the project overview. You can archive a project later if it's no longer active, or delete it entirely (deletion requires typing the project key to confirm, since it removes all folders, cases, and members).

Inviting your team

To bring colleagues into your organization, open Organization members, click Invite, enter their email address, and choose a role — Admin or User. Proba.run generates an invitation link that you copy and send to them yourself (email delivery isn't automated yet).

The invited person opens the link, creates an account or signs in, and accepts the invitation to join your organization. The invitation link works for 7 days; you can resend it (which issues a fresh link and invalidates the old one) or revoke it at any time from the members list.

Once someone is a member of your organization, add them to individual projects from the project's member panel so they can start working on test cases and runs.

Creating your first test case

Open a project and go to its workspace — you'll see a folder tree on the left and a list of test cases on the right. To create your first case:

1. Select or create a folder to organize your case (or leave it unfiled).
2. Click New case (or press Enter in the case list for a quick-add).
3. Fill in a title, priority, and steps, then save.

From here you can organize cases into folders, tag them, attach custom fields, and start building test runs — see Working with test cases for the details.
