TestResults.io provides you a place to store all your software versions as well as all test environments you want to test your software on.
For you to be able to test a software version, the software needs to be made available to the TestResults.io platform. This is done by clicking on the "NEW SW VERSION" button, which opens the "Add a new Software Version" dialog.
The add Software Version allows you to specify an identifier, usually the version number, a name and if the Version is based on a previously uploaded software version. If it is not based on a previously uploaded software version, you can select "SW has major UI changes". This gives the TestResults.io platform the information that test plans written against previous versions cannot be executed against this version until an automation engineer look at them.
In addition you can select the installation type. Based on the selected type you might have additional setting fields available. The following types are available:
