An execution profile is a pre-defined set of configuration settings, which you can use to execute test suites. You can add multiple execution profiles with a different combinations of configuration settings.
While executing a test suite, you can select any of these execution profiles depending on the configuration settings that you want to use.
Every web/mobile project comes with a default execution profile as System Execution Profile, in which execution mode is local which cannot be changed, and the browser is selected as Chrome which can be changed.
In the list of execution profiles, if you click the Usage Count of an execution profile, you can view every user who has selected the execution profile against which test suit
