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: To view the Rational TestManager version
that can be integrated with Rational Functional Tester, see List of supported domains for functional testing
