4 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one measuring entity is configured to process the control data on the basis of the configuration data prior to transmission to the at least one test environment.

5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the computer resource has a database that is provided for storing information about logins, control data, measurement data, configuration data, and/or display configuration data.

6 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the computer resource has a post-processing service configured to record, manage, and provide access to the measurement data.

7 . The device according to claim 6 , wherein the database and/or a further repository is provided for storing the measurement data.

8 . A method for remotely accessing at least one test environment via at least one user application, wherein a computer resource that is available via a communication network and has an experiment manager and at least one measuring entity is used, wherein the method includes:

logging in the least one user application to the experiment manager; and

logging in the least one test environment to the experiment manager, wherein the at least one test environment uses a software agent for logging in;

wherein the at least one measuring entity has a monitoring interface (KS) for the at least one user application and a measuring interface (MS) for the at least one test environment,

wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting, by the at least one measuring entity, display data to the at least one user application;

receiving, by the at least one measuring entity, control data for the at least one test environment from the at least one user application;

transmitting, by the at least one measuring entity, the control data to the at least one test environment; and

receiving, by the at least one measuring entity, measurement data for generating the display data from the at least one test environment;

wherein remote access to the at least one test environment is enabled for the at least one user application.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein, in connection with logging in, the at least one test environment transmits information about the at least one test environment to the experiment manager as configuration data.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one measuring entity processes the measurement data for generating the display data on the basis of display configuration data.

11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one measuring entity processes the control data on the basis of the configuration data prior to transmission to the at least one test environment.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the experiment manager saves information about logins, control data, measurement data, configuration data, and/or display configuration data in a database

13 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein a post-processing service records, manages, and/or provides access to the measurement data.

14 - 17 . (canceled)
