Manage API environments
An API environment enables you to change the service endpoint of multiple API connections at once. For instance, you can use API environments to change the endpoint for all API TestCases in an ExecutionList.
Tosca Commander saves and displays your API environments in the Configurations folder. For more information on how to assign configurations to objects in Tosca Commander, see chapter "Assign configurations".
