Work with test agents
Test agents are remote computers that are capable of running test scripts.
Before you begin
You can use Rational TestManager or Rational ClearQuest® Test Manager to coordinate remote testing activities from a local computer.To run test scripts remotely, perform the following steps:
Procedure
- Install Rational Functional Tester on the local computer.
- Install either IBM Rational TestManager v7.0.1.2 or Rational ClearQuest Test Manager on the local computer.
- To work with TestManager, install the Rational Test Agent software, located on the TestManager CD, and the Rational Agent Controller on the remote agent.
- To work with Rational ClearQuest Test Manager, install the Rational Agent Controller on the remote agent. (You can install just the Rational Agent Controller or the full Rational Functional Tester .)
- Start the Rational Test Agent software or the IBM Rational Agent Controller on the remote computer.
- Enable environments on the remote system.
- Configure applications to run on the remote system.
- Install the Rational Test Agent on Windows
