Re: [hyades-dev] Manual Testing

[Joseph P Toomey <jptoomey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shobhit,

Hyades does not currently support simultaneously
launching a test on multiple machines via a single gesture.  This
is an interesting requirement, but not something that we have attempted
to address thus far.  Although we allow artifacts to be deployed to
multiple locations, the act of launching a test implicitly launches only
test.  You may deploy other test artifacts to other locations, and
those artifacts may ultimately be used by your test (if the test is designed
to use those artifacts on those other locations), but only one test will
be invoked.

Your observation that you can specify
more than one deployment in a launch configuration is, in my opinion, a
defect.  I'll speak to the developer of the code and understand if
this was intended or not, and will file a bugzilla record to address the
issue.

As an aside, the configuration and deployment
portion of Hyades Test is not very mature yet -- the 3.0 release is the
first release which supports automatic deployment of tests at all.  If
you have additional requirements that you'd like to place on the configuration,
deployment and/or execution areas, this is the right forum to begin those
discussions.  We can also get you added to the agenda of the Execution
Environment team meetings (chaired by Kent Siefkes, kdsiefke@xxxxxxxxxx).

Thanks,
--Joe

Subject	[hyades-dev] Manual Testing

Hi,
 
I am using the manual testing feature of
Hyades. For this purpose I have created two artifacts (Artifact 1
& Artifact 2, both having the same test suite and datapool as
their assets) and two locations (Location 1 and Location 2,
both different machines).Now in order to do proceed with manual testing
I have two scenarios:
 
1.        Single
deployment
 
I created a deployment called deploy
and made two Artifact-Location pairs in the deployment 
Pair 1 - (Artifact1, Location1)
Pair 2 - (Artifact2, Location2)
To run the test I selected the
deploy deployment and ran the test.
 
Observations – The test was executed
at only one location and this location being the location of the pair that
is on the top of the list on Artifact-Location pair. 
 
2.        Two
deployments
 
I created two deployments - deploy1
and deploy2 both having only one Artifact-Location pair.
deploy1 – (Artifact1, Location1)
deploy2 – (Artifact2, Location2)
To run this test I selected both
deployments and ran the test.
 
Observations – The test executed
from only one location and this location being the location corresponding
to the deployment which appears on the top of list of deployment in the
run wizard.
 
I have the following queries on
my observations:
a)
     Can manual
tests be run from a single location only?
b)
     If they
can be run from multiple locations, what are the steps for it?
 
Thanks and Regards,
 
Shobhit
