- Or, click Home after expanding the General section on the left navigation
- On the top-right side, click the Perform Test button

- Change the radio button so Method: Email test scenarios to other people

- In the recipient's section, click the Add Recipients button

- A pop-up will appear.
- Check the box next to the individual(s) you want to send a test to

Want to have someone else test? Send the test to yourself. An email will come to your inbox with a testing link that you can share with others.

- In the Scenarios section, click the Add Scenarios button

- A pop-up will appear. Set the items so:
