# Guided wizard

> Eight questions that create environments, suites, starter tests, a first cycle, and optional assignments. You can change everything later.

**Start guided setup** / **Guided wizard** is for a new project with no existing tests. It is not more "correct" than a pack or a spreadsheet. It builds a starter so you're not staring at empty nav.

Intro copy in the app: tell us what you're testing; **About 5 minutes**; you can change everything later.

## The eight questions

1. **What are you testing?** Website/web app, mobile app, API/backend, or a product with several parts.
2. **What should we call this release or project?** Something you'll recognize: "September MVP," "Checkout Redesign."
3. **What kind of change?** Brand-new / major launch, new feature, fixes, or a regular mixed release.
4. **Where will your team test?** Dev, Test/QA, Staging/Implementation, Production (multi-select). Creates environments; one recommended default.
5. **How much structure?** Lean, Recommended, Thorough, or start small.
6. **Who will actually perform UAT?** Mostly me, small internal team, business users, or clients/external. This controls whether assignments get created.
7. **How do you expect testing to happen?** One focused cycle, every release, weekly, or not sure. Becomes the first cycle template.
8. **Optional: describe your product:** short plain English to tailor starter tests. Skip for generic templates.

## What it creates

You'll see build stages: validate to project to environments to suites to starter tests to first cycle to optional assignments to done.

That's a first pass, not a locked methodology. Add a pack, import more, delete suites. [Can I change it?](/setup/can-i-change-it)
