Get to know the project root element

The project root element is the root of your Tosca project tree. It's the parent folder to all organizational folders, test assets, and settings that belong to the common repository. Note that the project tree only displays artifacts that you have permission to view.

In the project window, you can see the Tosca project tree, which includes the project root element. To open the project window, select Home > Project.

By default, the project root element has the same name as the first workspace your team creates for the common repository. You can rename the project root element. This change applies to all workspaces that belong to the common repository.

Properties

You can access all project root properties in the Properties pane.

Description

The Description property allows you to add a short summary of your project. Tosca displays the description on the Tosca start screen, in the workspace tile under Recent Projects.

If you have many workspaces for different projects, you can use a a description to make it easier to find the one you need.

SpecialProjectName

By selecting a SpecialProjectName, you automatically select the settings that underlie the project. Save these settings to one of the following directories:

• %APPDATA%\Tricentis\Tosca TestSuite\7.0.0\Settings

• %TRICENTIS_HOME%\XML
