Viewing Execution Status and Reports in Perfecto's Execution Center

Once you have triggered the offline execution, you can view the status of your ongoing executions in Perfecto's Execution Center. Each test case appears on dashboard as a single grid with execution status against it. The status is updated after each test execution is completed in Perfecto's environment with its status (FAILED / SUCCESS) against it. Select the test case from the list and click Report from top to view recording of your test case.

To view the execution report of Qualitia test cases:

1. Log on to your Perfecto account. 
2. From the top right corner, click More > Execution Center.
3. In the Executions section, select the test case from the list.
4. Click Report

Executing Test Cases Behind Firewall Applications

Few applications are configured to be accessed using private networks. Such applications deny access when they are being accessed from other than local networks and so from Perfecto. Executing test cases on Perfecto for such applications needs special configurations.

Simply download Perfecto Connect client executable that matches your Operating System. You need to execute it on the machine in the private network to allow Perfecto executing tests flawlessly.

For more information on configuration of Perfecto connect, refer to the Perfecto documentation.

To configure perfecto to run test cases for the applications behind firewall:

1. Download Perfecto Connect executable depending on your OS.

2. Unzip the folder and run the file using command line interface along with Cloud URL and Security Token. 
   For example: 
   

   Code Block
   perfectoconnect.exe -c <Perfecto_Cloud_URL> -s <Security_token>

   

3. Executing this file will give you the tunnel ID.
4. Under Edit Additional capabilities, enter the tunnel ID in tunnelId. 

For more information about this, refer to the Perfecto documentation.
