- Do one of the following
- From the list of jobs, click the Add New Job icon.
- From the scenario details view, click the Create Job button.
- From the list of jobs, click the Add New Job icon.
- Specify a name for the test job.
- If you want to limit the job history that is saved, specify the maximum days and/or runs you want to allow.
Click Add Test Scenarios and specify which test scenarios you want to run, in what order, and with what variables and data sources.
Info icon false Specifying test execution settings: The Execute tests setting determines whether test scenarios are batch-processed on each designated server or run separately in the specified order. Batch (fastest) optimizes performance. Sequential allows you to control the execution order and generates a separate report for each test scenario.
Specifying test execution order: If Execute tests is set to Sequential, test scenarios will be executed in the order in which they are specified here. You can reorder tests by dragging and dropping them to the desired positions.
Configuring additional options: To see additional configurable options for a test scenario (such as data groups you can activate or SOAtest environment variables you can modify), click the arrow to the right of that scenario’s name.
Specifying test variable mappings: If a test scenario has variable sets defined, they will automatically be configured to use the existing values. Alternatively, you can specify literal values, use the values of variables defined in CTP, or use whatever value is active in the .tst at the time of the test. If you want to modify the variable mapping for this test job, see Configuring Variable Mappings..
Specifying data groups: Specify which of the available data sets you want to be active for each test scenario with data groups.
Specifying environments: By default, each scenario will be added with the variables from the active variable set (also known as a SOAtest environment). If you want to control what set of variable set is added with each scenario, hover over the .tst name, click the Environments link that appears...
then click the Add link for the variable set(s) you want to add.
The green ball icon marks the variable set that is currently active for the given test scenario (on the SOAtest server).
- (Optional) If you want an environment provisioned upon test execution, specify the appropriate system, environment, and set of component instances in the upper right side of the page. Under Select an Instance, select a specific environment instance to use that snapshot of component instance settings or select Custom if you want to manually configure the active component instance settings.
...
The list of servers in the execution group is also shown when you select the primary server in the Test Scenarios page.
To run the distributed tests, simply ensure that all servers are running, then configure and execute the desired job to run on the primary server. If that primary server is busy executing another job, CTP will execute it on one of the other servers within that cluster.
