Quickstarts

Quickstarts are short, task-focused refreshers for people who already know The Test Cabinet and just need the steps. They stay deliberately terse: each one gives the commands and the bare minimum of context, and links out to the User Guides and Components sections for the detail it skips.

If you are setting the project up for the first time, start with First Time Setup instead — the quickstarts assume a working toolchain, a container runtime, a built harness image, and a configured API key.

Available quickstarts

• Run a Test Case — drive a single test case through a harness and write a run record.
• Author a Test Case — scaffold a new case or version under test-cases/.
• Create a Variant — add a new playable mode to an existing version.
• Review a Run — write the required review for a finished run.
• Publish a Run — release a reviewed run to public hosting and the gallery.

Each quickstart has a matching User Guide that covers the same task in full, including prerequisites and the reasoning behind each step.
