About this task
In the Test Environments section of the test plan, use the Platform
Coverage tab to create a non-binding list of platforms that you plan to cover. You can
then use that list to generate the actual test environments that you need to run your
tests.
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 Manage the 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,
Browsers, Database, Management
Agent, Test Adapter, Operating System, and
CPU.
-
Move the specific application servers, browsers, CPUs, and so on from the Available column to
the Selected column.
Note: The options that are available in the dialog are defined as part of a test plan
environment type. For more information about creating or modifying test plan environment types, see
Test plan
environment types.
-
Click OK to add the selected platforms to the test plan.
-
Click Save to save the test plan.
The list of covered platforms can be viewed in the test plan and are used as input if you
choose to generate test environments automatically.
