The server tools use servers and configurations to test and publish your projects. Servers are definitions that identify where you want to test your projects. Server configurations contain setup information. You can either have the development environment create the servers and configurations automatically for you, or you can create them using a wizard. Resources that are used by these tools are covered in a separate topic.
