# Introduction

## 1.1 Getting Started

In this initial clip of section 1, see how to sign up to Quality Modeller and learn about the support offered as you take our 14-day Quality Modeller trial. Use the accompanying learning clips to boost your skills and knowledge of designing better in-sprint testing.

## 1.2 Creating a Project and Navigation

In the example, you’ll see a simple Model get built out and then shown the main menu panel. In the panel this is composed of Explorer for locating models and other assets, Data Lists or mini-spreadsheets for storing data for testing and tests which allows you to view and set up and schedule test plans.

Looking at the final part of the menu panel, you’ll see it gives you the ability to modify setting for Project and Releases. For Workspace, this is where you can control access for different Users or User Groups such as admin, editor, and reader.

**Objectives:**

1. Use Workspace and control access for different Users or User Groups such as admin, editor, and reader.
2. See the Get Started wizard options.
3. Discover our accelerators for setting up automation frameworks [**(QuickStart Tutorials).**](/docs/quickstart-tutorials-1)
4. Learn how to build out a basic Model.
5. Use the Explorer menu and directory to find models and other assets like Data Lists *(data Lists or mini-spreadsheets for storing data for testing).*
6. Learn how to set-up and schedule test plans.
7. Modify settings for Project and Releases.

Quality Modeller is Curiosity's flow-driven model-based tool which provides a range of accelerators and connectors for building flowcharts rapidly. Align all stakeholders to quality outcomes and create critical assets early, delivering superior software at speed.

A Model is a canvas and the Flow that is built onto it. There are several types of Model, some of which display different tabs and tools on the toolbar in Quality Modeller.

The Explorer section of Quality Modeller is the main location for finding all your models, data sheets, scans and variables. This will be the main view you use in Modeller and where you create new models and edit existing ones.

In the Project and Releases section of Modeller you can manage your existing projects and create new ones.

The Workspace Section of Modeller allows you to view and edit Data Rules, Code Templates, Tags and Custom Fields which have been set up by default or by the users.
