All test studies

A test study is a structured examination of a system’s functionality, performance, and end-user experience to determine whether it meets specified requirements and operates as expected.

Currently, there are two general types of test studies available:

1.System test studies are developed using a particular  reference architecture as a starting point

2.Configuration test studies are focused evaluations of a certain aspect of a system’s configuration, like virtual machine size or application configuration

You can learn more about each type here.

Read up on how you can use test studies in your everyday work here.
