Managing Test-Level Run Settings

Learn how to configure your test settings in Visual Editor and Plain-Text Editor.

For each test, you can configure platform and geolocation settings. These are the settings that are used when the test executes. You can override the settings when you manually run the test or when the test executes as part of a feature or run group.

Use cases include tests with unique instructions per browser and Visual Editor tests that run using our Automation Service.
