Project environments

An environment is defined by the dedicated base URL, also called the application host, of the application under test. You can define multiple environments for a single project. An environment can serve the purpose of development, staging, production, or even multiple productions at once. For example, multiple environments for the myapp.com application could be:

  • Production: https://www.myapp.com
  • Pre-Production: http://pre.myapp.com
  • Staging: http://staging.myapp.com
  • Development: http://dev.myapp.com
Note:
  • For an execution to access an environment, the environment must be live and available for remote access from Scriptless Web.
  • A combination of environment and location provides a complete URL for the application to load.
