### 3.6.2. Creating a new Project

1. From the ITE, select:

   Test-->New.

2. If you haven’t already logged into the database, a dialog will appear to ask you to do so. See the previous (Section 3.4.1, “Logging in to the database”) for details.

3. A wizard to create a new Project will appear (Figure 3.3, “New Project Dialog”).

4. In the project name field, enter a meaningful and unique Project name. Do not use any special characters in Project names.

5. Select the toolkit your Project will use from the combo box. The toolkit is the library used to create the GUI.

   Toolkits for Projects
   The default toolkit is concrete. Choose this if you want to write Test Cases that can be used for different applications (e.g. for Swing and for RCP).

   Choose another toolkit if you want to write Test Cases just for a JavaFX, Swing, SWT and RCP application.

   The choice of toolkit you make here will determine what actions are available to you to specify your tests. If you choose concrete, you will not be able to specify tests for components specific to e.g. SWT.

   Furthermore, if you choose concrete as toolkit for you project, you also have to specify a toolkit for your application under test. For any other toolkit, you don't have to do that.

6. In the AUT executable field, enter the path to the application you want to test.

7. If you check the project template checkbox, the project will be created with a basic structure which might help you organize your project.

If you want to modify the AUT later, you can do that via the Project properties under Test-->Properties.

You can also edit the Project details later in the Project properties dialog (Section 3.6.3, “Editing the Project and AUT properties”).
