How to navigate qTest Manager

To switch in and out of projects, select the Projects dropdown menu from the top toolbar. To prioritize certain projects to display at the top of the projects list, you can click the Star icon next to the project names. You can quickly search projects in the Search bar using keywords. Starred projects containing those keywords appear at the top of the search results.

Objects in Projects are then viewed and managed using the main tabs, each of which offer unique functionality for different areas of testing.

Select Resources to navigate to the Support Hub, find version details about qTest, and download qTest resources. You can also get to documentation relevant to the screen you're working in from this menu.

To search for objects, select Search in the top-right corner to open the search window.

Use keywords to search for objects across the project you're working in.

No matter where you are in your project, when you use the search box, the system searches through the entirety of Manager for objects that contain the keywords you entered.

Select Notifications to view all the notifications you've received from the dropdown.

The Notifications panel lists recent activity on objects you follow, along with who made each update and when.
