Comparing Test Artifacts for Push

Comparing the current version with a pushed version helps you review the changes made to a test artifact before pushing it again. This comparison helps you:

• Identify changes between the current version and the previously pushed version.
• Review additions, modifications, and removed items.
• Verify the changes before pushing a new version.
• Compare one or more selected test artifacts in a single comparison session.
