Getting Started: Workspace, Projects, and Web vs API Modes

Goal: get from install → a runnable suite in under 10 minutes.

1) Install + launch
- Install the desktop app (Program Files is fine).
- On first launch, you will be asked to choose a Workspace folder.
  - Pick a folder you control (local or network share).
  - This is where your projects, suites, reports, logs, and scheduler bundles live.

2) Understand “Mode”
WebSureQTool has two work modes:
- WEB mode: browser automation suites.
- API mode: REST-style API suites.

Important: WEB projects and API projects are intentionally separate.
- If you don’t see your project in the current mode, you’re probably in the wrong mode.

3) Create your first project (recommended)
- Click: Workspace Explorer
- Click: New Project
- Choose:
  - Mode = WEB (for UI testing) OR API (for API testing)
  - Project Name = something obvious (ex: “Demo_Web” or “Demo_API”)

4) Import or create a suite
Option A — Import:
- Click: Import Suite
- Select a *.json suite file

Option B — Create:
- Click: New Suite
- Give it a name and open it in the Suite Editor

5) Run the suite
- Open the Run panel
- Confirm prerequisites (base URL for API, browser selection for WEB)
- Click: Run Selected or Run All

If your run fails instantly:
- WEB: check browser/driver setup and that the target URL is reachable.
- API: check Base URL is set and your endpoints are enabled.

Pro vs Free (high level)
- Free users can run and edit suites.
- CodeGen, Scheduling, and Reports are Pro features.
  (If you’re on Free, those controls are intentionally disabled.)
