### How you should get started

* Create **requirements** (from Work Item screen, or within BesTest)
* Create **test cases**, **review** them and mark them Active.
* Connect Test cases with requirements (set up **coverage**)
* Optional - Create **collections** (they are grouping test cases when scaling)
* Create **test cycle** for execution
  * Add test cases one by one
  * Use collections for speed up the process
* **Execute test cases** in test cycles
  * Mark them pass
  * Or anything else, then connect Jira Work items with them (**Bugs**)
* Follow progress in the **Dashboard** or **Reports**
