Here we are going to learn about how to create new project in Testlink.  When you install Testlink on your machine first time and do login to Testlink. It will show you a default screen to create project. Its always needed in process to create a project.

Have closer look on above picture . It clearly asks to add required data in fields to create new project. There are many fields for which we need to enter data. One by one we will learn how to create a test project in Test link 

First we need to add Project Name . Its mandatory field . 

Here we entered project name for our project as " Test Project"

Now moving next we need to add prefix to test case id in test link . Now many of new tester may have question "What is Prefix for test case ID in Testlink ?"  Prefix means the word or character appended as prefix in test case id

T-001

Here T is prefix given by me while creating project and 001 is auto generated test case id. So you just need to enter prefix. This is also mandatory field.

Next field for which we need to enter required data is Project Description. Here we have to use simply project description about project. You can yous formatting tools also .
