# Create a Test Scope

Create a **Test Scope** to start organizing testing for a feature, module, or release item. A scope acts as the workspace where requirements, test cases, and execution results are grouped together.

### Steps to Create a New Scope

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open Test Scopes in the left navigation
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click + New Test Scope
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
(Optional) Upload source files 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter a Scope Title

*<mark style="color:$info;">(TestFirst can automatically generate a title when files are uploaded.)</mark>*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select a Project

*<mark style="color:$info;">(TestFirst can generate a new project from uploaded sources.)</mark>*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click Create
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
(Optional) [Generate Test Cases](/test-scopes/prepare-test-cases.md)

* Review & select test cases when test cases are generated.&#x20;
* Click Add.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

New test cope will be created and the scope detail page will appear on the page.

### Upload Source Files

Source files provide product context that can later be used to generate testing artifacts. You can upload files when creating a scope or add them later from the scope detail page.

To upload files:

1. Open the **Test Scope Detail Page**.
2. Scroll to the **Sources** section, click number of sources link.&#x20;
3. **Upload Files** or drag and drop files in Test Scope Sources modal.

The **AI Capacity Bar** updates as files are added.

### Manage Source Files

From the **Sources** section you can also:

* Download existing files
* Delete files&#x20;

These actions allow teams to update the product context as requirements evolve.

### Supported File Types

The following file types are supported:

* `.txt`
* `.md`
* `.docx`
* `.pdf`

{% hint style="info" %}
Demo files can also be uploaded for testing purposes.
{% endhint %}

### Source File Rules

When uploading files:

* Maximum size: **30 MB per file**
* Duplicate files are **blocked**
* Empty files are **rejected**

These checks ensure uploaded files can be processed correctly.
