The SentryOne Test documentation uses many of the guide features described in the Task Factory documentation post. So, check out that post for some tips on navigating SentryOne Docs.

SentryOne Docs breaks SentryOne Test documentation into three main categories.

2. Getting Started

Installation

First up is the Installation category. It contains articles for system requirements, installation, and an overview of the product architecture. The architecture article includes details on the SentryOne Test Visual Studio Extension, Web Portal, and remote agents.

Next, move on to the Getting Started category. Like the Using SentryOne Test category, it branches into subcategories for the Visual Studio Extension and Web Portal components. In addition, each branch includes an article for how to integrate the remote agent with the selected component.

For the SentryOne Test Visual Studio Extension, there's an overview and introduction to creating a test project. Most importantly, perhaps, are the in-depth tutorials on designing and building tests.
