Quick Start

In this chapter, you will get the minimal necessary information to get started quickly with Squore.

Default users

Squore ships with a database that contains two sample users that you can use to familiarise yourself with all the functionality available:

  • admin/admin is the default user that can manage the server installation, reload the server configuration after changes and perform access management tasks for the Squore installation.

  • demo/demo is the default Squore power user that can create, review and manage projects, as well as give team members visibility or management privileges on the projects he himself manages.

You can use these two default users, but we recommend that you change their passwords after your first connection. The privileges and permissions assigned to these default users can be modified as needed.

You can familiarise yourself with Squore permissions and privileges by referring to Managing access.

Sample projects

Squore ships with a collection of sample projects that we will refer to throughout this guide. Each project consists of one or several versions of the source code of an application. The code can be found in Squore Server folder: <SQUORE_HOME>/samples.

Logging in as the demo user gives you access to a Tools menu that allows reproducing the examples shown in this manual. (The menu is only accessible to the user demo).

Click Tools > Build Demo Projects and select the Software Analytics - C samples to get started.

If you do not have access to the sample projects, contact your Squore administrator to obtain a copy of the code.
