Tests can be grouped together into branches for easy management. Once entered, they can be associated with the requirements they address or any issues that result from running the test.
When you run a test, you can specify the workstation to run it on. Workstations are configured using the Systems Manager. To run Oracle OpenScript tests on remote systems, you must also install the Oracle Application Testing Suite Remote Agent on the remote system and configure Remote Agent Service login credentials. See the "Installing the Oracle Load Testing Remote Agent" section in the Oracle Application Testing Suite Release Notes for additional information about installing the agent and configuring the login credentials.
In addition, tests can be scheduled to run once at a specified day and time, daily at a specified time, or weekly at a specified day and time.

Perform the following steps if the third party test fails to run on the remote machine:
Make sure that the Oracle Load Testing Agent Service is running on the remote machine.
Check the <installdir>\logs\agentmanager.log file on the remote machine to see if the agent service started correctly.
Test the communication port between Agent and Oracle Test Manager.
Check the agent manager log file to verify that the JavaAgent.exe was run when the third party test was started. It is possible to run the same JavaAgent.exe command line specified in the agentmanager.log file from a DOS console. Verify that the command line argument for the third party test package URL is correct. If there is no indication that a Java Agent startup request was issued, verify the Agent version and check the Oracle Test Manager server log.
If it looks like the Java Agent was started with the correct arguments, look in the remote machine's <installdir>\logs\agentmananger.log file for any exceptions. It may help to set the oracle.oats logging category in <installdir>\agent\log4jJavaAgentDebug.xml file to DEBUG. This will show more useful third party test execution details. The third party test Java Agent posts its results over HTTP to a servlet running on the Oracle Test Manager server.
If the agent.log file shows that the third party test ran and that the results were reported successfully to Oracle Test Manager, then the problem is on the Oracle Test Manager server side. Look in the Oracle Test Manager server log for exceptions.
You can set test results for one or more tests. To set test results:
Select the Tests tab.
