Test run considerations for running tests on remote Docker hosts
Before you can configure a test to run on a remote Docker host, you must read the considerations that you must take into account.
You can run all the tests that are supported on HCL OneTest™ Server on remote Docker
hosts.
Important: You can run virtual services only in
the Default Cluster location of HCL OneTest™ Server. You cannot run
virtual services on a remote Docker host.
When you plan to run any of the tests on a remote Docker host from a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must complete the
following tasks:
| Tasks | More information... | |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Set up non-secure remote Docker hosts. | Setting up a remote Docker host computer |
| 1.2 | Set up secure remote Docker hosts. | Setting up a secure remote Docker host computer |
| 2 | Register the remote Docker host on HCL OneTest™ Server. | Registering a remote Docker host |
| 3 | View the registered Docker hosts. | Viewing remote Docker hosts that are registered with HCL OneTest Server |
| 4 | Add a remote Docker host to the HCL OneTest™ Server project. | Adding a remote Docker host to the project for running tests |
| 5 | Configure a run for your test that you want to run on the remote
Docker host by performing the following actions:
|
If you plan to run API Suites that use a transport and the transport requires
third-party application Jar files for a successful run on a
remote Docker host, then you must perform the following task:
- You must copy the third-party application Jar files to the third-party application folder on the computer where the remote Docker host is installed. See Copying third-party application Jars to a remote Docker host.
After you set up and register the remote Docker host with HCL OneTest™ Server, you can add the remote Docker hosts to your project on HCL OneTest™ Server. See Adding a remote Docker host to the project for running tests.
You can find information about the tasks that you can perform when you use remote Docker hosts that are set up and registered with HCL OneTest™ Server.
- When you configure a test run and in the step in which you select the remote
Docker, if you encounter any of the following conditions because these were
changed on the remote Docker host:
- The host name or port of the remote Docker is not displayed correctly.
- You want to change the mode of authentication with the remote Docker host.
You must edit the configuration settings for the remote Docker host. See Editing configurations of a remote Docker host.
- When you want to delete a remote Docker host from your HCL OneTest™ Server project, see Removing a remote Docker host from a project.
- When you want to remove or unregister a remote Docker host from HCL OneTest™ Server, see Unregistering a remote Docker host from HCL OneTest Server.
