To perform any distributed testing involving other systems the User needs to add "remote systems". A remote system is a machine that will participate in testing along with the local machine (the machine which TETware professional is started on), the remote system may in reality be the same physical machine as the local machine, however for the most part a remote system will be another physical machine located elsewhere.
Please note that ALL configuration relating to the remote system is placed into the configuration files on the local system, this places certain restrictions on the testing setup.
There are two methods for adding remote systems:
Whichever method is used the "Input remote system name" dialog box will be displayed.
This dialog box is requesting that the User enters a valid network identifier for the Remote System, it is the Users responsibility to ensure that the network identifier given is correct. The identifier will be written to the systems file which is used by TETware professional to map system id numbers to systems.
Once the User has entered a network identifier the "Input remote systems number" dialog box will be displayed.
The dialog box is requesting that the User enters a valid system number for the Remote System, this system number is the number that will be used in the Scenario file for indicating to TETware professional Test Cases that should be performed on a Remote System.
The following rules apply for the entry of a Remote System number:
For all of the rules above, if one is broken then an appropriate dialog box will be displayed and the Remote System NOT added.
Please note: the Remote System number given will be used to form the TETware professional variables that are written to the configuration files, i.e. if a number of 002 is given to a Remote System then, for example, the variable TET_TSROOT will be written to the tetdist.cfg file as TET_REM002_TET_TSROOT.
