Products and Folders are containers used to organize and apply common settings to related tests. Products are top-level containers, typically used to categorize Tests based on a company's major divisions or product offerings. For example, a company that operates an eCommerce site and a streaming service might create two products within Catchpoint - one called "eCommerce" and one called "Streaming". Tests may be created directly within Products, or they may be further sub-categorized within Folders - e.g. by geographic region.
Here is a sample structure with two Products - "eCommerce" and "Streaming" - and several folders within each Product. Tests may be created inside any of these Products or Folders.
In addition to keeping your Tests organized, Products and Folders can also be used to define default settings for the Tests they contain, which keeps you from having to repeatedly configure these settings for each Test. If you have certain Tests that need to have unique settings, you can easily override any inherited setting on a case-by-case basis. To learn more about how settings can be inherited by tests contained in Products and Folders, read Inheritance.
You must create at least one Product within your Catchpoint portal before you can create any Folders or Tests. Learn to create Products and Folders here.
