Artifacts

This operation consumes artifacts, which allows for test files to be part of artifacts.

Endpoint Selection

This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the environment instance.

Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the environment instance which have that resource defined.

Endpoint Execution 

This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
