3. Create a new environment for each website you’re testing (ie Washington Post - Sandbox, Washington Post - Production)

   

   

4. Add the following environment variable and put the value in the CURRENT VALUES column:

   domain - set it to your websites domain, for example: www.example.com or {ORG-WEBSITE}-sandbox.web.arc-cdn.net

5. Click the Add button.

Using The Collection

• Select the collection you want to run
• Select your new environment from the environments dropdown box in the upper right
• Click the run button. All the urls from the collection will be displayed checked. You can uncheck any that you don’t want run. Click the blue Run button. Each request will called and the response code will be displayed.
