Distributed testing

Hi All,



Myself pradeep and I work for Philips. I have some queries on Distributed Testing of TestComplete8.



Context: we have automated scripts and we need to run these scripts on 100 to 150 machines simultaneously and also we need to control these scripts while running. I have tried with 10 clients simultaneously and found below obsevations:

1. It is not possible to stop/start/pause any particular client while master suite was running.

2. It is not possible to start Distributed testing in incremental way (like first 10 clients than next 20 and so on..)

3. how many slave clients can Distributed testing supports (any hardware limits,)? as i have seen if I run more than 10 clients the TC IDE wiil going to hang and we need to forcibly restart TC to continue.

4. Sometimes I have observed random failures at slave clients side. i.e master was not able to connect to slave clients and need to restart slave clients to bring them up.



Please assist me on above issues ASAP.



Thanks in advance,

Pradeep
