Configuring for remote testing

The following sections describe how to configure and run the software required on both the Client and Server, to run tests from a remote PC using the TestDriver. The Server resides inside the TestDriver and is installed with the TestDriver.

System requirements

When setting up your Client-Server configuration in order to run tests from a remote PC over a WAN or LAN, you must have the required hardware and software set up on the system. For details, see PC and device requirements.

Configuring the Client side

Each PC client used must have the TestDriver installed.

Configuring the Server side

The PC to be used for running tests must have TestDriver and TestMaster installed on it. The TestMaster is installed with the TestDriver. For more information on installing the TestDriver, refer to Installing the TestDriver.

Configuring the TestMaster

Before running the TestMaster complete the following settings using the config command:

 testDriver config --server <host_name> --service <service_name> --jobs <jobs_folder> --srv remote_serv --port flushing_port -t transport

Where you must set the name of the remote server and service, remote target test port, test job to be run, and so on.

For example:

TestDriver config --server lon-test01 --service RemoteTD --jobs c:\jobs --port 2 --t serial3

This sets the name of the remote server and service, remote target test port and test job to be executed. For more details, refer to Command reference.

Running TestMaster

Run the TestMaster using the following command:

>testDriver master

If the TestMaster is running correctly, the following output is displayed:

TestMaster starting up...
Host: YourServerHostName
RMI Service: RemoteTestDriver
Executor: Waiting for a job.
TestMaster running.

Note: WinTap must not be running on the server side when remote testing is in process.
