Prerequisite tasks
Before you can run any of the supported tests on a remote agent from a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must have completed the following tasks:
- Installed the agent on the remote computer. See Management of agents.
- Configured the agent with your offline user token so that the agent can connect to HCL OneTest™ Server.
- Added the remote agents to your project on HCL OneTest™ Server. See Adding an agent to a project.
Note: If you want to run an AFT Suite (that contains Web UI tests) on an agent, you must start the agent as a non-admin user so that certain browsers that are configured start correctly during the test run time.
Before you add the tests to the remote repository, you must 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 can continue to configure a run for any of the following supported test types:
