Configuring an Eclipse shell

Rational® ClearQuest® Test Manager comes in the form of plug-ins that can be installed into an Eclipse shell.

The plug-ins can be installed into the SDP clients, (Rational Functional Tester and Rational Performance Tester) or into a Eclipse Workbench Environment at version 3.0.2. Configuration and version requirements vary depending on which shell you use. The instructions for installing the plug-ins are the same for each type of shell used. All configurations must be performed before installing the plug-ins.

To execute configured test cases on a remote computer, you must have an installed and configured IBM Agent Controller running on the remote computer. The Agent Controller is also required for executing Rational Robot test scripts from ClearQuest Test Manager on local and remote computers. The Agent Controller accepts and processes execution requests from ClearQuest Test Manager clients. The testing tool (Rational Functional Tester, Rational Performance Tester, or Rational Robot) that executes the configured test case must also be installed on the remote computer.

The Agent Controller is included in the Rational Performance Tester and Rational Functional Tester installations, so you do not need to install it separately to use the remote execution feature with these testing tools. The Rational Performance Tester installation procedure lets you configure the Agent Controller, so you should not have to perform separate configuration steps to use the remote execution feature. You do need to configure the Agent Controller for use with Rational Functional Tester.
