Example

We want a config for Chrome 47.0 on all Windows versions.

$ browserstack-select Windows any chrome 47.0 any
[ { os_version: 'XP',
    browser_version: '47.0',
    device: null,
    os: 'Windows',
    browser: 'chrome' },
  { os_version: '8',
    browser_version: '47.0',
    device: null,
    os: 'Windows',
    browser: 'chrome' },
  { os_version: '7',
    browser_version: '47.0',
    device: null,
    os: 'Windows',
    browser: 'chrome' },
  { os_version: '10',
    browser_version: '47.0',
    device: null,
    os: 'Windows',
    browser: 'chrome' },
  { os_version: '8.1',
    browser_version: '47.0',
    device: null,
    os: 'Windows',
    browser: 'chrome' } ]
