Set up Delegate for the QA/Testing profile and run your first manual test case: profile selection, CLI installation and login, and your project key.
This is the one-time setup and first execution for someone brand new to Delegate for Testing. If you have already run a test case before, see Executing manual tests instead.
One-time setup
- Select QA/Testing as your work profile during onboarding. This automatically installs the Test Cloud plugin. If you already onboarded with a different persona, go to Settings > Behavior preferences and switch to QA/Testing instead.
- Install the UiPath Command Line Interface (CLI) from docs.uipath.com/cli. Delegate drives Test Manager exclusively through this CLI.
- Confirm the CLI is installed by running
uip --versionin a terminal. It is installed correctly if this returns a version number. - Run
uip loginonce. This opens a browser window for authentication; sign in with your UiPath account. - Find your project's key from the Test Manager URL — not the full project name, just the short code (for example,
MYAPPin.../testmanager_/MYAPP/testcases/...). You will need it for every prompt.
Result
After uip login, your browser confirms a successful sign-in, and Delegate can access Test Manager on your behalf from then on. The whole setup takes about 5 minutes if you have the CLI installer ready.
Running your first test case
- Enter a prompt describing the test case to run, for example: "Run test case Login – valid credentials in project MYAPP."
Result
Delegate finds the test case, lists its steps, executes them in Chrome, and publishes results back to Test Manager. You will see a step-by-step results table and a link to the execution in Test Manager. For the full phase-by-phase breakdown of what happens during execution, see Executing manual tests.
