When
you associate a Functional Tester project with a Rational® project, you can use TestManager
to run your Functional Tester scripts on computers that you designate as Agent
computers from a single Windows® computer, called the Local computer.
You use Agent computers to perform these tasks:
- Run scripts on more than one computer. If you are running a test, you
can save time by running the scripts on the next available Agent computer
instead of running all scripts on the Local computer.
- Test different machine configurations. If you are testing various hardware
and software configurations, you can run scripts on Agent computers that are
set up with different configurations.
- Run Functional Tester scripts remotely on Linux® or Windows computers. If you run Functional
Tester scripts remotely, you must enable environments and configure applications
on the Linux or Windows Agent
computers. For information, see the Rational Functional Tester Installation
Guide.
Note About TestManager Integration: Functional
Tester is integrated with Rational TestManager version 7.0.2. If you
have the 7.0.2 version of TestManager, you will be able
to use the integrated features of Functional Tester and TestManager.
See Understanding Functional Tester integrations for
important information on using the products together.
