Agents overview
You can find information about the agents that you must install on remote computers and configure the agents with the offline user token so that the agents register with HCL OneTest™ Server. After the agents are registered, you can add them to your projects and then select them as locations to run tests.
When you plan to run any of the tests on a remote agent from a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must have completed the following tasks:
- Installed the agent of the same version as the version of HCL OneTest™ Server.
- Configured the agent with your offline user token so that the agent can connect and also register with HCL OneTest™ Server.Note: When you configure the agent to connect to the server by using the offline user token that you generated on HCL OneTest™ Server, you become the owner of the agent.
- Verified that you have write permissions to the majordomo.config file so that certain transactions can be written by HCL OneTest™ Server to the majordomo.config file.Note: You can verify if you have the Read and Write permissions by checking the properties of the majordomo.config file.
- Added the remote agents that are registered with HCL OneTest™ Server to your
project on HCL OneTest™ Server.
See Adding an agent to the project for running tests. Note: After you add the remote agents to your project, HCL OneTest™ Server determines the capabilities that are provided by the remote agent and displays the details and capabilities of the agent on the Infrastructure page.
