Testing Setup

Testing Setup allows the global admins to configure multiple testing setups. The Setup itself is flexible and does not impose the way of organizing tests - users can follow an approach that fits them the best. It does not matter whether it's the single or cross-project method, or even their own personal way of organization - Testing Setup adjusts. More information regarding tests organization can be found here.
