All right, in this lesson, we will set up a free TestRigr account to follow this class. So TestRigr is a framework that runs completely in the cloud. You don't need to set up any additional configuration like development environment or anything else on your computer. All you need is just a Chrome browser and TestRigr account to write your test. All right, so let's get into it. Open the Chrome browser and in the search bar type testrigr.com and hit Enter. So this is the homepage of the TestRigr. And here, if you already have an account with the TestRigr, just go to Login and log into your account. If you don't have, for example, you don't have a corporate account or something, just create a free TestRigr account and click on Sign Up over here. So click Sign Up. And before filling out the details right here with your name and password and so on, here you need to select the plan for the TestRigr. So by default, it's offering you to select this private complete account with 14-day trial. For the purpose of our class, you don't need this. We need to select this public open source right here, so click on this checkbox. And then it's telling you that all your test cases that you will create with this plan will be publicly visible. So anyone in the Internet can view your test cases. And also, your test cases can be used on platforms like YouTube or Twitter for the marketing purposes or something like that. So just click Yes, I want to use this, and that's it. You will create a free account. So here below, you can see the difference between the account tiers. Basically, the main difference between public account and paid account in the TestRigr is, first, that you are limited to just one user. And as far as I know, you cannot run tests in parallel with a free account. And also, you are limited to the browsers. For example, in free version, you can use only Ubuntu-based browsers. You cannot use Windows, Mac, Android emulators, and that kind of stuff. Also, you cannot use CICD integration and integration with the test cases and some other edge case scenarios. But other than that, all core and main functionality of the TestRigr will be available for you in the free public open source account, completely free and unlimited. And for the purpose of our class, this is what we need. So create a new account by entering your credentials. So Artem Bondar, email, I will use just a test user account, git user at bondaracademy.com. Company is Bondar Academy, and I need to create some secure password. Okay, and register now. All right, so we created an account. Please check your email and verify the complete next steps. So let me check my email real quick. And I have just verified my email. Also, make sure when you wait for the email verification, check your spam folders just in case it will go over there. And now I just log in with my new created account. Git user and enter my password and hit sign in. And that's pretty much it. So we are inside and we can create a new test suite right here with all the details provided. So Test Trigger account is created. We are all set, and in the next lesson, we will create our first test suite and first test cases. I will just demonstrate how Test Trigger works, and we will start with this in this course. All right, that's it guys, and see you in the next lesson.
