The Branch baselines page

The Branch baselines page shows information about the baselines Defines the sequence of images to which the sequence of images captured at checkpoints will be compared. A test can have multiple baselines, each of which is characterized by the execution environment it ran on (operating system, browser and viewport size). A baseline can have instances in multiple branches. in a branch and provides tools to manage these baselines.

The main tasks you can achieve using this page are:

1. Delete baselines from a branch. See Deleting baselines

3. View the history of a baseline. See The Baseline history page .
4. View the results of the test run that most recently used a baseline. See View the results of the latest run of a baseline .
5. View the results of the test run that most recently updated the selected baseline. See View the results of the test run which updated a baseline

When a test runs, its' execution environment, is defined by the platform on which the test runs or if run on the Ultrafast Grid, by the configuration of the Ultrafast Grid. A baseline is also associated with an execution environment. By default, the baseline chosen for a test is the baseline that has the same application name, test name, and execution environment as the test. , and the number of maintainers (people who saved a baseline) in the branch.
