Test run considerations for running tests on remote performance agents
Before you configure a test to run on a remote performance agent from HCL OneTest™ Server, you must read the considerations that you must take into account.
Supported tests
You can run the following tests that are supported to be run on a remote performance
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
Prerequisite tasks
Before you can run any of the supported tests on a remote performance agent from a
project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must
have completed the following tasks:
- Installed the HCL OneTest™ Performance 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 a performance agent to a project.
Note: If you want to run an AFT Suite (that contains Web UI tests) on a performance
agent, you must start the performance agent as a non-admin user so that certain
browsers that are configured can 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 performance 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:
- Configuring an AFT Suite run
- Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains performance tests or a Performance test
- Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains Web UI tests or a Functional Web UI test
- Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains HTML tests
- Configuring a run of a Rate Schedule or VU Schedule
