soapui ng pro tests remote machines.

We will be using Soapui ng pro. We are buying 2 licness (each tester will have one copy). We have finished Groovy coding. We will run them on a remote machine, using Jenkins ( Jenkins will be  calli...

    Hi sureshvemu,

     

    1. Yes, but that license uninstall/install management would be up to you to fully perform.  If you run into an instance where the license is not deactivated, we won't really be able to help there.  

    Also, in my experience, any time this question was asked, a floating license is a much better fit

     

    2. License should be activated on the slave that is executing testrunner

     

    3. Only the obvious requirements that I can think of:

     - installed Ready! API

     - activated license

     - machine can access the target test environment

     

    4. Here are some good instructions for that:

    5. Yes.  Running testrunner.bat is a great workaround and gives you as much if not more functionality over the maven plugin for SoapUI NG

     

    Thanks,

    1. By chance, if we  can use Maven, (by using soap-testng plugin),   should we still install TestNGPro on  the Slave machine (on which machine Jenkins will run the tests). Or, we do not need to install the License on this Slave.

     

    Answer: For Maven, you can run the plugin by pointing in pom file - http://readyapi.smartbear.com/features/integration/maven/introduction

    but you will still need to activate a license there on the slave machine - http://readyapi.smartbear.com/about/licenses/activate/jenkins/start

     

    2. We use the command - "testrunner.bat    path of project file", and this runs it locally. Can you give syntax how to run on Remoate machine (example - MahineVMOne)

     

    Answer: There's two ways to do that - 

    1. In my previous answer I've provided sample syntax to connect to your slave machine and run testunner.bat on that machine.  

    2. Another option would be to run testrunner on your machine and point to a project via UNC path somewhere else.  But that kind of defeats the purpose of setting up a slave machine to save computation cycles
