Test Client configure message flow testing environment

Define the test message-flow environment configuration using the Test Client Configuration panel.

Purpose

When Test Client is launched, a default test configuration is created and the selected message flow added to the configuration. The test configuration can then be amended as required.

A test configuration is locked, having Read-Only status, once a test message flow configuration is started and used in testing. The test configuration is unlocked once the tests have been completed.
