Main Article
By linking a Testing Context to a (project level) Testing Platform Group, you can get two distinct benefits:
- You can use Testing Platform Group(s) to efficiently create en masse testing contexts for Run Definitions or Scenarios that you assemble subsequently within the Project
- If you make changes to the Testing Platform within a project-level Testing Platform Group, you can push down the change you make to all 'linked Testing Contexts' across all Run Definitions or Scenarios that use the specific Testing Platform.
- When on the Create Testing Context screen or the Edit Testing Context screen, in the header section you will see a field labeled "Add to Platform Group"
- Select the Testing Platform Group using the drop-down in front of the field to which you want to link the Testing Context.
- Click on Save
The Testing Context is now available in the Testing Platform and can be used during bulk creation of Testing Contexts for other Run Definitions or Scenarios.
