Projects allow users to organize the performance tests they wish to run in VPT. All test runs, templates, files, and schedules will belong to a particular project, and you can create as many projects as you see fit to best categorize the tests according to your teams’ various needs.

When an account is created in VPT, it will by default have one team, named My Team, and one project belonging to this team, named My Project. To create additional projects, navigate to the Projects page and click on the Add Project button in the upper right-hand corner.

This will open a modal, allowing you to set the name and description of your new project, as well as select the team to which it belongs. The name is required, but you may not create a project with the name of an already existing project, and the modal will stop you if you attempt to do so. The description is entirely optional.

You will only be able to select from teams to which your user also belongs. For more information on managing teams, please refer to our support article Working with Teams.

Once you’ve defined a name and team, you can click the Create Project to complete the process.

If you have created a project and wish to change its name and/or description, navigate to that project’s page, and click on the three-dot menu found in-line with the project’s details to reveal the Edit and Delete buttons.

Click the Edit button to open the Edit Project modal.

From here you may change the project’s name or description, with the same restrictions as creating a project: there must be a name and it cannot be the same name as another project.

Once you’re satisfied with the new name and/or description, click Save Project to save your changes.

To remove a project, click the Remove button found on the project page’s three and follow the instructions on the modal that appears.

Deleting a project is permanent action that removes not just the project itself, but all its contents, including test runs, templates, files, and schedules. To prevent such a potentially drastic action from being performed accidentally, we require all users to enter the project’s exact, case-sensitive name before the project can be deleted.

Once the name matches exactly, you may click the Delete Project button to confirm and perform the deletion.
