# Creating a Project

A project is the top level of everything you build in Web Testing. Test modules, scripts, test data, sprints and reports all sit inside one. Create a project first; everything else follows.

## Prerequisites

* A Qyrus account with access to the **Web Testing** service.

## Steps

1. On the **All Projects** page, click **Create Project +**.

2. The **Create Project** window opens.

3. Enter a **Project Name**. You have up to 60 characters, counted in the corner of the field.
4. Enter a **Project Description**. You have up to 255 characters.
5. Click **Create Project**.

6. The project opens on its home page, and the breadcrumb shows **All Projects / *****your project name***.

## Things worth knowing

* **Both fields are required.** **Create Project** stays greyed out until the name and the description both have content.
* **You can change both later.** Click the pencil button next to the project name on the project home page.
* **Naming rules.** The ⓘ button inside each field states them. For **Project Name**: "First character should be an alphabet. No special character allowed except - \_ and space". For **Project Description**: "First character should be an alphabet". In plain terms, start both with a letter, and keep the name to letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores and spaces.
