In this lesson, you, in the role of lab manager, 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 installed software. You can determine whether the lab resource is currently available.
