Create a test definition to define tests that can help troubleshoot a problem encountered by a particular type of service or product model. For example, use a speed test to troubleshoot the internet-related
issues.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService Test ManagementTest DefinitionsAll.
2. Select New.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   For more information about the fields, see [Service Test Definition form fields](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/n1amAUMs8~0M88F_nArihw "Review the fields on the Service Test Definition form.").
4. Select Submit.

## Result

The system creates a test definition record and sets its state to Draft. While the test definition is in the Draft state, you can edit it and its related records.

## What to do next

Define the values that the test captures. For more information, see [Define test measure definitions for a service test](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/RO6uUXF1vhmyTHxa~IRfhg "Define the values that a test captures, such as the metric, the unit, and how often the value is captured.").
