Project

Projects are the workspace for your specs, endpoints, tests, and runs in Total Shift Left—create one to start building coverage and CI-ready quality gates.

Overview

A project is the workspace where you organize an API from spec → endpoints → tests → runs. It’s the starting point for:

  • importing or syncing an OpenAPI/Swagger spec
  • grouping endpoints into features
  • creating test cases and test run packs
  • managing environments and access controls

If you’re new, start with Getting started and Initial configuration.

Create a project

  1. Go to Projects.
  2. Select New project.
  3. Fill in:
    • Name (clear and specific, e.g. “User Management API”)
    • Description (optional, but helpful for teams)
    • Default environment (start with Dev/QA until runs are stable)
  4. Select Create.
  • Name projects by domain: align with an API boundary (Billing, Identity, Orders).
  • Keep environments separate: dev vs stage vs prod—avoid mixing credentials and data.
  • Set access early: assign roles so editing, running, and viewing permissions are clear.
