The Network Suite functionality is deprecated. We don’t recommend using it for distributed testing. Consider using a CI/CD system for managing distributed tests. See Migrating Distributed Tests to CI/CD Systems for details. In case you need to run web tests on multiple environments in parallel, you can also try using your project’s Execution Plan. |
Distributed testing is applied for testing web sites and server applications when they work with multiple clients simultaneously. Distributed tests consist of two or more parts performed on different workstations in the network. Test parts (projects or project suites) on network computers can run in a series or simultaneously.
Topics of this section describes TestComplete features that provide support for distributed testing and explains how to create tests of this kind with TestComplete:
