Understanding Setup in Zoho QEngine
Overview
The Setup page in Zoho QEngine is your comprehensive control center for configuring all critical components of your testing environment. Whether you're adding team members, configuring your agent or tunnel for test executions, or authenticaing your integrations with secure API keys, the Setup page provides a centralized platform for effective management. It empowers you to create, generate, and manage the following essential components:
Note: Super admins, admins, and managers have full permissions to configure all components of the setup page. Testers have limited permissions, such as creating and managing agents, connections, and tunnels. Learn more about roles and their permissions
1. General Setup
Users
You can add, edit, or remove both the portal and project level users.The portal serves as the central workspace that contains all projects. At this level, administrators can assign roles that apply across all projects within the portal. In contrast, at the project level, users can be added and assigned roles specific to individual projects.
For detailed information on users, see the User management document.
Connections
Connections enable you to create and manage secure gateways between Zoho QEngine and external services. These connections can be used in API test cases, and are essential for establishing seamless communication and data exchange between services.
For detailed information on setting up and managing connections, refer to Connections.
Integrations
You can extend Zoho QEngine’s capabilities and streamline testing processes by creating and managing integrations with external services. Supported integrations include CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins, defect management systems, and more.
API Keys
You can generate and manage API Keys to securely interact with Zoho QEngine from third-party services and enable integrations. These are used to authenticate and establish secure communication between Zoho QEngine and external platforms.
For more details, see Generate API Keys within Zoho QEngine.
2. Test Execution Setup
Under Test Execution, you can manage critical components that facilitate running automated tests across different testing environments.
Agents
Agents help execute test cases on local machines across different testing platforms. You can register, add, or manage agents efficiently and link testing devices to the desired agents for easier execution in various projects.
For more details on how to register and setup agents for your projects, refer to the Agents document.
Agent Groups
Agent groups optimizes test execution across multiple agents. Grouping agents helps balance workloads effectively, enhancing overall execution efficiency. Learn more
Tunnels
Tunnels can be used to securely test services or applications hosted in private networks without compromising on your firewall. You can register, add, or manage tunnels to test staging or development servers. Easily configure the desired network traffic options suitable for your testing environments. Learn more
iOS Settings
Manage the saved configuration details of your code-signing files that enable agent installation and automation for your iOS testing needs. Learn more
