Introduction of the Squash TM Workspaces
The Sidebar
The fixed sidebar on the left of the screen allows you to access any Squash TM workspace at any time.
When the sidebar is hidden, only the workspaces icons appear, thus leaving more workspace for you to view their content.
Requirements, Test Cases, and Campaigns Workspaces
These workspaces are at the core of software qualification. They allow you to: - create, organize, trace, and create versions of your requirements; - create, manage, modularize, and use variables on your test cases; - manage, plan, and run your test campaigns.
Reporting Workspace
This workspace is dedicated to tests monitoring. It is mainly intended for testing project managers.
Automation Workspace
This workspace is dedicated to automation management within Squash TM.
Action Workspace
This workspace is dedicated to the pooling of test cases actions (Actions Library plugin is needed).
Info
The Settings menu is only accessible to Administrator or Project Leader users.
My Account
You can access the My Account page by clicking on the icon with the user's initials at the foot of the sidebar.
Two links appear when you hover on this icon: "My Account" and "Log Out"
My Account
The "My Account" page contains user information. This information is organized under the following boxes:
Information
This box contains the current user's following details: their name, address, and their group (Admin or User). From this page, you can modify your e-mail address and/or your local password.
Clearance
This table allows you to visualize the user's projects and their permissions.
Bugtrackers Configuration Mode
This block allows you to manage the connection to the bugtrackers linked to the projects you are cleared to work on. When an administrator selects the option "The users authenticate themselves" during their configuration of a bugtracker and when the bugtracker is part of a project the user is cleared to work on, then the user can choose either a manual or an automatic connection.
When "Manual" connection to the bugtracker is selected, the user must systematically connect to the bugtracker to declare or go through an issue by clicking on the [Login] button. When "Automatic" connection to the bugtracker is selected, the connection to the bugtracker starts automatically.
The box "Login details" contains the list of the bucktrackers linked to the user's projects. When the user saves their login information, they are automatically connected to the bugtracker in the app's different workspaces. You need to click on the [Save] button to confirm the entry.
Logout
When you click on the sub-menu "Logout", you are disconnected from the app.
Projects Filter
Located in the sidebar, the menu Projects Filter allows you to select the projects you want to display in the app's different workspaces. Its way of operating is reminiscent of that of a library.
In this menu, the "All projects" options you to show all the projects whereas the "Multi-projects" option opens a new window where you can select projects. To select a project to include in the filter, check the box before its name then click on [Confirm]. To make the project selection process easier, you can use the dynamic search field to look for the projects Name and Tag.
Focus
