The steps in this tutorial are also available as a guided tour which can be started in the portal from the help (?) menu with Start Tutorial.
To start with this tutorial, please select from your project list, you should see a screen similar to this
Starting from here, we will follow three simple steps to create our execution environments, create a test case and finally a test set to execute this test case.
An execution environment always consist of a Subject Under Test, your software, and a Test Environment, the system your software should be tested on. In the simplest case your Subject Under Test is a web page which is tested on a pre-installed browser.
Enter the following details: Identifier: 1.0 Name: TestResults.io Installation Type: Webpage URL: https://demo.testresults.io
Select Windows 10 - Firefox in the Name drop down. Leave the Installed SW drop down at No preinstalled Software Version

As an unguided exercise: Open your test set (hint: click on "First"), select test environment and your software version and press execute. Sit back, relax and see the results, as they come in.
