# This template uses the provided targets and optional groups to generate a matrix which is then passed to the test template.
# If this matrix template does not provide the required functionality, consider using the test template directly instead.

parameters:

  # Each item in the list must contain a "test" or "name" key.
  # Both may be provided. If one is omitted, the other will be used.

  # An optional list of values which will be used to multiply the targets list into a matrix.
  # Values can be strings or numbers.
