Creating a test deployment

This section describes how to create a deployment for your test suite. The example is set within the context of the Test perspective. We shall execute the following steps:

Creating a deployment
Test deployments typically consist of a paired test artifact and test location. Through the launch configuration mechanism, TPTP interprets the pair and deploys the test artifacts on the host computer specified.
Creating an artifact
Test artifacts associate objects such as test suites and datapools; that is, artifacts make an asset available to a test suite.
Creating a location
Test locations identify the computer where the test suite will run.
Forming an artifact and location pairing
Create the pair of test artifact and location to be used by the test deployment.
