The Test Agent is a tool that allows you to communicate QAComplete and your automated testing tools.

You have to install and configure the Test Agent on each computer that you plan to use for automated tests, so the test result will be posted to the Test Library. The Test Agent is also necessary for scheduled automation runs.

Tip:

When you install the test agent on a host machine, the host item will be automatically created in QAComplete.

To install the Test Agent, your test machine must meet the following requirements:

An active Internet connection.

Note: If there are several TestComplete or TestExecute versions installed on the host, the Test Agent will use the latest version.
