Test Environments
When dynamically created test environments are used, it is convenient to use the Environments module and custom actions to manage creation and shutdown of test environments.
Information about a test environment is created using the REST API. You can specify the environment name, significant parameters (for example, the ports of various services), the software version deployed in the environment, and specific characteristics (for example, the DBMS in use).
When a test report (testing results) is imported automatically, you can specify the environment on which testing was performed. In this way, the system links the test environment to the testing results.
Custom actions can be used to configure manual creation of a test environment with the required settings and software version, as well as shutdown of the test environment.
