HyperExecute Environment Variable Setup

---

To provide you with a secure cross-browser testing environment on-cloud, we recommend integrating LambdaTest Authentication Credentials in your test scripts. This would allow our cloud servers to establish a secure connection between your local system and HyperExecute. This document will help you understand how to set up HyperExecute environment variable for your respective operating system. This set up would also help authenticate your colleague's test cases when executed against an individual account.

LambdaTest Authentication Credentials consists of two fields:

1. LambdaTest Username
2. LambdaTest Access Key

You can find these authentication credentials by either visiting the HyperExecute Dashboard or your LambdaTest Profile.
