Test run considerations for running tests on remote agents
Before you configure a test to run on a remote agent, you must read the considerations you must take into account.
You can run the following tests on a remote agent:
- AFT Suite
- Compound Tests that contains performance tests
- Compound Tests that contains Web UI tests
- Compound Tests that contains traditional HTML tests
- Rate Schedule
- VU Schedule
When you plan to run any of the tests on a remote agent from a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must complete the following tasks:
- Install the agent V10.0.2 or later.
- Start the agent on which you want to run an AFT Suite as a non-admin user. Ensure that you have write permissions for the majordomo.config file.
- Configure the agent with your offline user token to connect to HCL OneTest™ Server. The agent can be connected to both the server and desktop clients.
Before you add the tests to the remote repository, ensure that you have completed the following tasks:
- Associated the agents with the performance schedule in HCL OneTest™ Performance.
- Specified the host name of the remote workstation in the AFT XML file.
You must add the remote agents to your project on HCL OneTest™ Server. See Adding an agent to the project for running tests.
