Sign in
Introduction
Section titled “Introduction”What the sign-in screen is
Section titled “What the sign-in screen is”The sign-in screen is the front door to Testver. It appears whenever you open the app without a valid session — on a fresh browser, after signing out, or after a session expires. It is intentionally minimal: a username, a password, and a Sign in button.
Who can sign in
Section titled “Who can sign in”Anyone with an account an admin has created. Each account has a single role — Admin, Tester, or Viewer — which determines what you can do once inside, but everyone uses the same login screen.
Daily sign-in
Section titled “Daily sign-in”- Open Testver in your browser (e.g.
http://localhost:3700, or your team’s hosted URL). - Enter your username and password.
- Click Sign in.
You land on the dashboard (or wherever you last were). Testver keeps you signed in until you sign out or your session expires.
Staying signed in
Section titled “Staying signed in”A successful login creates a session — a server-side token tied to your account and device. You stay signed in across page reloads and browser restarts until one of these happens:
- You click Sign out.
- The session expires (default: 30 days, configurable by an admin in Settings → Security).
- An admin (or you, from Profile) revokes the session.
Each device or browser you sign in from gets its own session. You can review and revoke them all from Profile → Active Sessions.
Signing out / switching user
Section titled “Signing out / switching user”In the top-right of every screen, click your avatar → Sign out. This ends your current session and returns you to the login screen. To switch user, sign out and sign back in as someone else.
Forgot your password
Section titled “Forgot your password”Admin reset (always available)
Section titled “Admin reset (always available)”- The admin opens Admin → Users.
- Finds your row → Reset password.
- Sets a temporary password and shares it with you securely.
- You sign in with it, then immediately set your own from Profile → Change password.
What the screen is telling you
Section titled “What the screen is telling you”The login area shows different states. Here’s what each means and what to do.
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| ”Setup required” instead of the login form | No admin account exists yet | Whoever installed Testver should complete First-time setup. |
| ”Invalid username or password” | The credentials didn’t match | Re-check for typos and caps-lock. If still stuck, ask an admin to reset your password. |
| ”Session expired” mid-work | Your session timed out | Sign in again — your saved data is safe. Anything unsaved must be re-entered. |
| ”Account disabled” | An admin disabled your account | Contact your admin; only they can re-enable it from Users. |
Using multiple tabs
Section titled “Using multiple tabs”You can use Testver in several browser tabs at once — they share the same session and stay in sync. Take notes in one tab while authoring in another, or watch a run in one while browsing results in another.
Tips & best practices
Section titled “Tips & best practices”- Change a temporary password immediately after an admin resets it for you, from Profile → Change password.
- Review your Active Sessions occasionally, especially after using a borrowed device — revoke anything you don’t recognise.
- If you suspect your account was accessed, change your password and use Revoke all other sessions in Profile.
- Don’t share accounts. Each teammate should have their own login so the Audit Log stays meaningful.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”| Symptom | Likely cause & fix |
|---|---|
| The page won’t load at all | Testver isn’t running, or the URL is wrong. Confirm the server is up and the address/port are correct (default :3700). |
| Credentials rejected though they look right | Caps-lock, a trailing space, or a since-changed password. Have an admin reset it. |
| Signed out unexpectedly | The session expired or was revoked. Just sign in again. |
| ”Setup required” appears | No admin exists yet — run First-time setup. |
| I’m the only admin and locked out | Password recovery must be done at the server/host level — contact whoever administers the machine running Testver. |
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”How long do sessions last?
Section titled “How long do sessions last?”30 days by default. An admin can change this in Settings → Security.
Can I be signed in on my laptop and phone at once?
Section titled “Can I be signed in on my laptop and phone at once?”Yes. Each device gets its own session; manage them all from Profile → Active Sessions.
I forgot my password and there’s no email — am I stuck?
Section titled “I forgot my password and there’s no email — am I stuck?”No. Any admin can reset it from Users. If you are the sole admin, recovery happens at the host level.
Is there a “remember me” option?
Section titled “Is there a “remember me” option?”Sessions already persist across restarts until they expire, so a separate “remember me” isn’t needed.
