Example

The following script demonstrates how you can use the NetworkSuite.Address property to specify the base path of test projects that run on the computer as part of the network suite.

JavaScript, JScript

function NetworkSuiteSample()
{

  // Adds a new host to the Hosts collection
  var Host = NetworkSuite.Hosts.AddNew();
  // Specifies the new host's properties
  Host.Name = "SlaveComputer1";
  Host.Address = "TEST-XP32";
  Host.Domain = "Domain";
  Host.UserName = "tester";
  Host.Password = "password";

  …
  // Obtains the IP address of the current computer
  // And uses it to specify the path to the base folder
  Host.BasePath = "\\\\" + NetworkSuite.Address + "\\Distributed Testing";

  …
}

Python

def NetworkSuiteSample():
  # Adds a new host to the Hosts collection
  Host = NetworkSuite.Hosts.AddNew()
  # Specifies the new host's properties
  Host.Name = "SlaveComputer1"
  Host.Address = "TEST-XP32"
  Host.Domain = "Domain"
  Host.UserName = "tester"
  Host.Password = "password"
  # Obtains the IP address of the current computer
  # And uses it to specify the path to the base folder
  Host.BasePath = "\\\\" + NetworkSuite.Address + "\\Distributed Testing"

VBScript

Sub NetworkSuiteSample
  Dim Host

  ' Adds a new host to the Hosts collection
  Set Host = NetworkSuite.Hosts.AddNew
  ' Specifies the new host's properties
  Host.Name = "SlaveComputer1"
  Host.Address = "TEST-XP32"
  Host.Domain = "Domain"
  Host.UserName = "tester"
  Host.Password = "password"

  …
  ' Obtains the IP address of the current computer
  ' And uses it to specify the path to the base folder
  Host.BasePath = "\\" & NetworkSuite.Address & "\Distributed Testing"

  …
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure NetworkSuiteSample;
var Host;
begin

  // Adds a new host to the Hosts collection
  Host := NetworkSuite.Hosts.AddNew;
  // Specifies the new host's properties
  Host.Name := 'SlaveComputer1';
  Host.Address := 'TEST-XP32';
  Host.Domain := 'Domain';
  Host.UserName := 'tester';
  Host.Password := 'password';

  …
  // Obtains the IP address of the current computer
  // And uses it to specify the path to the base folder
  Host.BasePath := '\\' + NetworkSuite.Address + '\Distributed Testing';

  …
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function NetworkSuiteSample()
{
  // Adds a new host to the Hosts collection
  var Host = NetworkSuite["Hosts"]["AddNew"]();
  // Specifies the new host's properties
  Host["Name"] = "SlaveComputer1";
  Host["Address"] = "TEST-XP32";
  Host["Domain"] = "Domain";
  Host["UserName"] = "tester";
  Host["Password"] = "password";

  …
  // Obtains the IP address of the current computer
  // And uses it to specify the path to the base folder
  Host["BasePath"] = "\\\\" + NetworkSuite["Address"] + "\\Distributed Testing";

  …
}
