# Your First Testing Session

_Training Videos · SurveyTester Academy_

Every new SurveyTester company comes with the demo project **Museums of New York** already installed. This video
uses it to show a complete first testing session, from opening the project to the first reported issue, in under
eight minutes.

## What the video shows

1. **Opening the demo project** and what the project page tells you before you test anything: survey link,
   languages, test runs so far.
2. **Starting a manual test run** and walking through the survey the way a respondent would, with the
   SurveyTester browser extension active in the page.
3. **Reporting an issue right where you see it**: classify it, mark the spot on the screenshot, add a comment.
4. **Looking at the result**: the pages the run visited, the answers given on each page, the screenshots, and the
   issue list that your team sees.

## Before you start

- You need a SurveyTester account. A [free trial](https://www.surveytester.com/freetrial) is enough.
- Install the browser extension first, see [Installing the SurveyTester extension](https://www.surveytester.com/academy/en/general-queries/installing-the-surveytester-extension).

## Next step

Once the demo project feels familiar, create a project with your own survey link:
