In the Test Environments section of a test plan, you can list the
software and hardware platforms that you plan to cover and use that list to
generate the actual test environments that you need to run your tests.
The Test Environments section of the test plan includes two tabs:
- Platform Coverage
- Test Environments
Use the Platform Coverage tab to create a non-binding list of platforms
that you plan to cover.
To list the platforms that you plan to cover:
- Open the Test Environments section of a test plan.
- Click the Platform Coverage tab.
- Click the Add platforms to be covered icon
(
) to open the Available
Environment Options window.
- Select the Environment Type from the list.
The default
Environment Types include Application Server, Browser, CPU, Database, Management
Agent, Operating System, and Test Adapter.
- Move the specific Application Servers, Browsers, CPUs, and so on
from the Available column to the Selected column.
- Click OK to add the selected platforms to
the test plan.
- Click Save to save the test plan.
The list of covered platforms can now be viewed in the test plan and
will be used as input if you choose to generate test environments automatically.
