Now that we have set up the grid with different instances, we should have a look at how we can write tests against these remote controls on the grid. We can pass in the value of the target that we can see in the grid and then run the tests. So instead of passing in the standard desired capabilities, you can be more specific and the grid hub will route data so that you can then run the tests as normal. Let's see this in action.
