Distributed testing inquiries
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 7:10 pm
I am looking for suggestions and comments about what people have done specifically with Ranorex (and more generically with any test automation system) to create distributed functional and load testing (i.e. sending tests out to "agent" machines to do various testing).
I know Atom says that they have developed something in house to do this so hopefully you can help with some pointers or examples.
1) What are you using to control the distributed tests (centralized master machine). How do you detemrine who gets what test.
2) How are you pushing the tests out to agent machines.
3) How do you coordinate the agents. I.e. if agent 1 needs to complete something before agent 2 how do you coordinate the two. Also, if agent 1 fails for some reason, how do you inform agent 2 and/or the master of the failure.
4) How do you centralize the reporting.
