When you associate a Functional Tester project with a Rational project, you can use TestManager both to run your Functional Tester scripts and to coordinate testing activities from a single Windows computer, called the Local computer.
When a test runs, scripts play back on the Local computer or on the computers that you have designated as Agent computers. You use Agent computers to perform these tasks:
Run scripts on more than one computer. If you are running a test, you can save time by running the scripts on the next available Agent computer instead of running all scripts on the Local computer.
Test different machine configurations. If you are testing various hardware and software configurations, you can run scripts on Agent computers that are set up with different configurations.
Run Functional Tester scripts remotely on Linux or Windows computers. If you run Functional Tester scripts remotely, you must enable environments and configure applications on the Linux or Windows Agent computers. For information, see the Rational Functional Tester Installation Guide.
Note About TestManager Integration
Functional Tester is integrated with Rational TestManager version 2003.06.13. If you have the 2003.06.13 version of TestManager, you will be able to use the integrated features of Functional Tester and TestManager. Please see Understanding Functional Tester Product Packaging and Integrations for important information on using the products together.
