In this lesson, you, in the role of a lab manager, you
search for and reserve a lab resource for 24 hours.
You can search for a lab resource that matches the hardware
and software configurations that you need for your testing effort.
When you open a list of all lab resources, you can click a lab resource
ID to see details about the hardware and software installed on it.
You can find out if the lab resource is currently available. You can
then select the lab resource and reserve it for 24 hours.

box, and then click the Reserve machine for the next 24
hours icon (
