Test agents are remote computers that are capable of running test
scripts.
You can use Rational® TestManager or Rational ClearQuest® Test Manager to coordinate
remote testing activities from a local computer.
To run test scripts remotely, you must perform the following steps:
- 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.
