Access and Login
The Test Leadtest lead's Desktop desktop is accessed by typing in the following URL in a web browser:
http(s)://<hostName_or_IP>/flex/html5
User credentials can be customized from the User Setup application by the Test Manager test manager unless another authentication system is in use. Leads and testers must be assigned to a project in order to be able to login. The user is given an opportunity to change that password on their first login if the default authentication system is in use.
Once logged in, the Test Leadtest lead's Desktop desktop has the following major areas:
Title Bar
The Title Bar title bar of the manager test lead's desktop gives drop-down menus for Dashboards and Projects on the left. Additionally, the name of the person who has logged in, help, and user profile options are displayed on the right.
If the Test Lead test lead has been assigned to other projects, the drop-down allows them to quick quickly switch to those other project spaces.
...
The left side of the desktop has a project dock that lists all the applications that are available to the Test Lead test lead after selecting a release. This entire tool dock can be slid to the left to make more room for application windows. It can be restored to its original just as easily. A drop-down of the releases are shown directly below the label of the currently used project.
