If you create a new test, you have the option of defining it as one of the following three test types:

##### Public test

- A public test can only be accessed via a link or QR-code. The tester can either participate as a guest (a temporary user account is automatically created in the background) or log in with their tester account in which case he requires the “Tester” role for the test division.
- For testers public tests do not appear in the test overview
- The list of evaluations is not visible to testers, the vehicle list remains visible

##### Internal test

Tester requires:

- User account
- "Tester" role for the test division

##### Closed test

- Same conditions as for internal tests apply
- Tester must also be included in the list of testers for the relevant test
