# Add Target To initiate automated testing with probes, you must first add your target. To do so, open the workspace & target drop-down menu. Once expanded, click the **"Add Target +"** button (Figure 1).

After clicking the button, the Add Target page will appear (Figure 2). On this page, you can choose your connection type and configure your target for automated testing.

Adding a target consists of three steps: 1. Select your preferred connection type between the Platform and the target application. You can find a more detailed explanation of each connection type on the [Connections](https://docs.probe.splx.ai/ai-red-teaming/probe/target/index) page. 2. Configure your connection on the [Connection Setup](https://docs.probe.splx.ai/ai-red-teaming/probe/target/add-target/integration-setup) page. 3. Configure your target on the [Target Configuration](https://docs.probe.splx.ai/ai-red-teaming/probe/target/add-target/target-configuration) page, where the details and capabilities of the target are defined. {% hint style="info" %} After a Target is successfully added: To start your First Test Run, you will need to [configure the probes](https://docs.probe.splx.ai/ai-red-teaming/probe/probe-configuration)**.** {% endhint %}
