Broadcast your application directly from your desktop to as many test stations as you wish using the built-in Remote Testing module.

The included remote testing module lets you broadcast your application to an unlimited number of test workstations, empowering you to build your application once on the operating system of your choice, then watch it run on other computers using other operating systems.
