Environments in octomind
Overview
Environments enable you to run your tests across multiple deployments of a website, ensuring that each instance of the site functions as expected. With environment support, you can configure testing to match specific deployment settings and validate changes across different stages.
Environments provide a structured way to:
- Isolate configurations for different deployments (e.g., development, staging, production).
- Customize testing settings specific to each deployment (e.g. user credentials, etc.).
- Perform targeted tests and debugging without interfering with production data or workflows.
After creating a project, Octomind Provides you with the default environment, with the url you provided during setup. Also it shows the username and password you provided if your page requires a login.
Creating an Additional Environment
To add another environment, go to your project settings and open the Environments tab.
There, select the Add New Environment
button.
Example of environment screen, 10/2024
In the new environment setup:
- Name the Environment – Give a unique name to differentiate it from others.
- Set the Target URL – Specify the URL which describes the “default” deployment of this environment - you can still override the URL at runtime.
- Optional: Add Credentials – Provide a username and password if the URL requires login.
