Platforms

A platform is a predefined combination of browser (or mobile simulator) and resolution, such as Chrome with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. You can combine two or more platforms into a platform set and run the executions for all platforms that are part of a set in parallel. 

To define a new platform:

  1. In the Assets view, in the left pane, click Platforms.
  2. At the top right, click Add Platform.
  3. In the Add new platform set form, provide a name for the new platform.
  4. Click Add platform.

  5. In the Select Platform form, you can select a Web or Mobile Web platform. You can also select the device, browser, and resolution you would like to test on. For mobile devices, you can select portrait or landscape orientation.

  6. Click SAVE.

  7. (Optional) To speed up the execution time, select the Pre-initialized Selenium session checkbox. If selected, for any tests that run on this platform, a Selenium session is initialized as soon as a user accesses the project instead of creating the session only at the start of a test run.

    You can pre-initialize a Selenium session for a single platform in a project. You can select the relevant platform when you run a test.

  8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for additional device/browser/resolution combinations as needed.
  9. In the Add new platform set form, click CREATE.

To edit a platform:

  1. Hover over a platform and click Edit .

  2. In the Edit a platform set form, provide a Name for the new platform.

  3. Click Add platform.

    You can delete existing platform by clicking the delete icon besides the platform.

  4. In the Select Platform form, you can select a Web or Mobile Web platform. You can also select the device, browser, and resolution you would like to test on. For mobile devices, you can select portrait or landscape orientation.

  5. (Optional) To speed up the execution time, select the Pre-Initialized Selenium session checkbox. If selected, for any tests that run on this platform, a Selenium session is initialized as soon as a user accesses the project instead of creating the session only at the start of a test run.
