Access and Login

All other desktops are 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 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 users have the following major areas:

Title Bar

The title bar of the desktop gives drop-down menus for Dashboards on the left. Additionally, the name of the person who has logged in, help, and user profile options are displayed on the right.

Tool Dock

The left side of the desktop has a tool dock that lists all the applications that are available to the user. This entire tool dock can be slid to the left to make more room for application windows.
