Testing environments

You can create Environment entities that describe the company's testing environments. Users can then select an environment for their defects.

For example, when creating a defect for an issue found in the predefined environment Lab1, the submitter can select Lab1 in the Detected in environment field.

To provide more information about the environment, the user can also add Environment tags, such as Browser:Chrome. For details, see Environment tags.
