After the agents are registered, you can add them to your projects and then select them as locations to run tests or virtual services.
  - Management of performance agents
    You can manage the performance agents that you want to use as locations to run tests from HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). When you install the agents by using your offline user token, the agents are registered with the team space in Test Hub. You can view the registered agents before you add them to your projects. You can then select them as locations to run tests.
  - Management of API agents
    You can manage the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) agents that you want to use as locations to run tests from HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). When you install the agents by using your offline user token, the agents are registered with the team space in Test Hub. You can view the registered agents before you add them to your projects. You can then select the agents as locations to run virtual services.
  - Management of DevOps Test Runtime agents
    When you want to run the server test assets that require resources not available in the cluster, such as the Safari browser, you can use the DevOps Test Runtime agents. You can install the agent on a machine with the required resources, and then select the agent as the location for test runs from HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You can also manage the registered agents in Test Hub.
  - Management of the personal agent
    A personal agent is a local agent that provides a dedicated, isolated runtime environment to run and diagnose Web UI tests and suites directly on your local machine.
    - Installing and starting the personal agent
      When you want to run server test assets or server suite assets locally on your system and view the live test run, you can install and use the personal agent. To run tests locally, you must first download the DevOps Test Runtime agent, and then install and start the agent in Test Editor.
    - Stopping or unregistering the personal agent
      You can stop or unregister the personal agent when you no longer need the agent to run tests.
- Management of remote Kubernetes clusters
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on remote Kubernetes clusters. After you set up a remote Kubernetes cluster, you can register the external cluster with a team space on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You must then add the remote cluster to a project before you run test assets or resources on the remote Kubernetes cluster.
- Management of cloud credentials
  You can find information about managing the credentials that are required to connect to cloud-based applications such as mobile device clouds and AI providers from HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
