# Setting up test configuration records {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 26, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Define the test definitions, test measures, threshold rules, consequences, and test groups that your teams run against telecom services.

Configure test definitions first, and then group them so that the right tests run for a specification or a product model. For the roles that each task needs, see [Roles installed with Service Test Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/3Li55EBPk3eqMEePUNflYQ "Review the roles that Service Test Management installs, what each role can access, and the roles that each one contains.").

Before you start, review the plugin requirements in [Plugins installed with Service Test Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Qs8One~cB18gRXIUQRdk1w "Review the plugins that Service Test Management requires and the optional plugins that add characteristics, test decomposition, and conditional test groups."). Some tasks are available only when the Product Model or Product Inventory plugin is active.
