# Setting up and running your first test case

> 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](manual-test-execution-use-case.md) instead.

## One-time setup

1. 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.
2. Install the UiPath Command Line Interface (CLI) from [docs.uipath.com/cli](https://docs.uipath.com/cli). **Delegate** drives Test Manager exclusively through this CLI.
3. Confirm the CLI is installed by running `uip --version` in a terminal. It is installed correctly if this returns a version number.
4. Run `uip login` once. This opens a browser window for authentication; sign in with your UiPath account.
5. Find your project's key from the Test Manager URL — not the full project name, just the short code (for example, `MYAPP` in `.../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

1. 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](manual-test-execution-use-case.md).
