Environments Overview

At least one environment is required in order to store results for test cases. By default, Speed Test does not have any defined. Environments should indicate the type of system that the test cases will be run against, for example, Windows XP or Linux. In the example shown above, the names Test, Stage and Production are used, which indicate 3 sets of servers with identical software.
