So what would these URLs actually point to?
My feeling is you don't really want to consider this info as a data object in itself but as a filter, which is why I'd imagine it much more in a query string then in the url itself. E.g.: filtering the test results for test foobar:
…/tests/foobar?browser=chrome&device-manufacturer=samsung&device-family=galaxy&device-model=s3
