If you are viewing this article, chances are that you have signed up on the Testlio platform, finished setting up your Testlio profile, and now are eagerly waiting to start testing.

We strongly recommend going through these videos and articles as they will fully equip you to complete Test Runs.

1. Receiving and Responding to the Invitation

First of all, make sure that you have taken steps to receive Testlio emails. Otherwise, you might miss the Test Run invitation emails as they might end up in your spam folder.

Once you have received a Run invite, make sure that the timing is suitable for you and respond to the invitation accordingly.

Please keep in mind that not responding to the Run invites could cause issues for the team and may result in the tester being off-boarded from the Testlio Platform.

2. Starting a Test Run

If you have accepted the Test Run invite, you just need to wait until the Run start time. Once the Run becomes active, you simply need to start and observe the flow to complete the task. You can go through the instructions in the following video to check where you can start the Run once it becomes available.

3. Executing a Test Run

In this video, you will find a quick walkthrough of the test execution window and see how you can execute a Test Run, create issue/bug reports and reproduce duplicate issues.

Please note that this is a quick overview and in order to master the process, we suggest that you go through these articles as well:
