Platforms

Platforms are the individual entries within a platform group — for example, iOS and Android inside a Mobile OS group. The configuration wizard combines platforms across groups to generate test configurations.

Before you begin

Create a platform group first. Every platform must belong to a platform group. If no groups exist, create one under Platform Groups before adding platforms.

Creating a platform

  1. Go to Admin → Configurations.
  2. Select the platform group you want to add to in the Platform Groups panel. The Platforms panel on the right updates to show platforms in that group.
  3. Click Add Platform.
  4. Enter a Name for the platform (e.g., iOS 17, Chrome, macOS Sonoma).
  5. Optionally pick an Icon to represent the platform visually.
  6. Choose whether the platform is Enabled.
  7. Click Save.

The platform group cannot be changed after creation. A platform is permanently associated with the group it was created in. To move a platform to a different group, delete it and re-create it in the correct group.

Editing a platform

Click the edit action on any platform row to update its name, icon, or enabled state. The platform group is read-only in the edit form.

Enabling and disabling a platform

Disabled platforms are excluded from the configuration wizard — they will not appear in Step 1 when selecting platforms to combine. Existing configurations that already include the platform are unaffected.

Re-enable a platform at any time to make it available in the wizard again.

Deleting a platform

Click the delete action on a platform row and confirm. The platform is permanently removed from its group.

Deleting a platform may affect existing configurations. If the platform is part of any existing configurations, those configurations will still exist but will reference a removed platform. Review your configurations before deleting a platform.

Platform icons

Each platform can optionally display an icon to make it easier to identify at a glance. The following icons are available:
