Running AQTime Projects Remotely by Using Test Controllers and Test Agents

Requirements

1. Add Your AQTime Project to Your Visual Studio Test Project

2. Configure Test Settings for Remote Execution

3. Run Your AQTime Test and View Test Results

Computers where you create test projects and where you run them must have the following software installed:

Computer Where you Create and Configure Test Projects

Test Controller

Test Agents

1. Launch Visual Studio and open your Visual Studio test project or create a new one.

2. Add an AQTime Test item to your test project and configure it to run the needed AQTime project.

For detailed instructions on how to do it, see Adding AQTime Projects to Visual Studio Test Projects.

Open your test project extended with the AQTime project in Visual Studio and add new test settings to your solution (Visual Studio 2015, 2013 and 2012) or your Visual Studio test project (Visual Studio 2010) and modify the settings for the remote execution:

1. In your solution or test project, open the test setting file you want to configure or create a new test setting file.

2. Open the Roles tabbed page of the Test Settings dialog:

   

   • In the Test execution method drop-down list, select Remote execution.

   • In the Controller drop-down list, select a controller for the test agents you want to use.

   • In the Roles table, create roles to be used in your test. Select the role, with which you want to run your tests, and click Set as role to run tests. If you have a single role defined, it will run the tests by default.

   • To specify test agents that will be used to run tests, in the Agent attributes for selected role table, create attributes for the role and then assign these attributes to your test agents.

3. Specify other test settings you need. For more information on test settings, see the Specifying Test Settings for Visual Studio Tests article in the MSDN Library.

4. Click Apply to save settings and close the dialog.

To apply the created test settings:

• In Visual Studio 2012 - 2015, choose the needed settings from the Test > Test Settings menu.

• In Visual Studio 2010, choose the needed test settings from the Test > Select Active Test Settings menu.

In Visual Studio 2012 – 2015:

1. Choose Test > Windows > Test Explorer from the Visual Studio main menu to open the Test Explorer panel.

2. In the Test Explorer, right-click your AQTime Test item and select Run Selected Test from the context menu (you may need to build you project to fill the panel with available tests).

In Visual Studio 2010:

1. Open the Test List Editor.

2. In the Test List Editor, create a new test list.

3. Add your AQTime test to the new test list and check the check box to enable the test.

4. Right-click the test and choose Run Checked Tests from the context menu.

The test controller specified by the test settings will process the test project and run it on the appropriate test agent. The test agent will lunch AQTime and perform profiling. You can select your test controller in the Connect drop-down list of the Test Results panel and watch the test progress.

After the test run is over, the Test Results panel displays the test results.
