Offline Execution in Local Environment
The offline package can be executed in local environments exactly as it is executed traditionally. Change the ExecutionEnvironment value as local in the qualitia.properties file and start executing it.
To change configuration settings for executing tests in local environment:
...
Figure 2.2.2 2
Note: All the other configuration settings in the qualitia.properties file have to be done traditionally.

Offline Execution and Report
You can execute offline package using the traditional method after the configuration settings are done.
For more information on execution of offline package, see section 2.2.2, Offline Package - Execution.
It uses browsers available on local machine for test case executions. For example, if you have chosen "Firefox" to be the execution browser and the local machine has Firefox v42, Qualitia continues execution using Firefox v42. After the execution is complete, test execution reports are displayed on the local machine.Anchor
You can execute test cases on remote environment using Selenium supported Browser Capabilities.
For more information about executing test cases using browser capabilities, see section 3.4.5, "Execution using Browser's Capabilities."
...
Offline Execution on Remote/Distributed Environment
You can execute the test cases using offline package after configuring settings accordingly. This gives you provision to trigger suite execution using any machine in the network. You do not need to move the offline package to different machines to execute it. You can do it in following two ways;
- Normal Remote Execution
- Remote Execution through Selenium Grid
...
...
Normal Remote Execution
This option can be used when you are aware of the remote machine details where you wish to execute your test cases. Please note that here you choose to execute Offline Package on a remote machine with specific details.
Qualitia uses the selenium-standalone-server-jar for test case executions on the target remote machine.
To run selenium-stand- alone jar:
...
For example: RemoteURL=http://192.168.25.123:4445

Offline Remote Execution and Reports
You can execute offline package using the traditional method after the configuration settings are done.
For more information about remote executions, see section 2.2.2, "Offline Package - Execution."
It uses browsers available on local machine for test case executions. For example, if you have selected "Firefox" as an execution browser and the local machine has Firefox version 42, Qualitia continues execution using Firefox version 42. Execution Reports are displayed on the local machine after executing the test cases.
Execution using Browser Capabilities
You can execute test cases on remote environment using selenium supported Browser Capabilities.
For more information about executing test cases using browser capabilities, see section 3.4.5, "Execution using Browser's Capabilities."
Mobile Test Case Executions:
In order to execute mobile test cases on the remote machine, make sure that Appium server is up and running on the designated remote machine.
For more information about installing Appium Server, refer to the Qualitia Online Help.

Remote Execution through Selenium Grid
You can choose this option when you have distributed test environments where you want network to select a remote machine based on the availability.
Key Points to Know Before You Start
What is Hub?
The Hub is the main command center for managing which machines your test will run on. This is where you can see list of all the available nodes currently running in your grid environment (Remote Execution Environment).
What is Node?
A Node is a machine that you register with your Hub. By registering with Hub, the Hub now knows about the Node and any configuration information you used when you registered the node.
In order to perform remote execution through selenium grid, you need to configure Hub and Node in the network.
Creating Hub in the Network
A Hub can be created in the network following the steps mentioned below.
...
- Download the Selenium-server-standalone jar file on Hub machine.
- Launch the command prompt and navigate to the location where Selenium-server-standalone jar file is saved.
- Execute command "java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.xx.x.jar -role node–hub http://hubIP:4445/grid/register".
...
Note: You can bundle your IEServerDriver.exe or ChromeDriver.exe running while registering to Hub as shown in Figure 3.4.22.
Configuration Settings
Before executing test cases in remote execution in Selenium grid, you need to configure settings accordingly. Here are some important points to keep in mind when configuring settings for remote execution in selenium grid.
- Selenium server jar version used in Qualitia offline package and downloaded at remote machines including Hub and Nodes should be same all over.
- Java needs to be installed and configured in computer's environment path.
- Port number used for hub is changeable and default port number is 4444.
- As hub selects node for execution at its own at run time, you cannot provide details for specific OS / Platform.
- To know more about how to setup Selenium grid hub and node it is recommend using the selenium grid links given below.

Offline Remote Execution and Reports
You can execute offline package using the traditional method after the configuration settings are done.
For more information about remote executions, see section 2.2.2, "Offline Package - Execution."
It uses browsers available on local machine for test case executions. For example, if you have selected "Firefox" as an execution browser and the local machine has Firefox version 42, Qualitia continues execution using Firefox version 42. Execution Reports are displayed on the local machine after executing the test cases.
Execution using Browser Capabilities
You can execute test cases on remote environment using selenium supported Browser Capabilities.
For more information about executing test cases using browser capabilities, see section 3.4.5, "Execution using Browser's Capabilities."
Mobile Test Case Execution on Nodes
In order to execute mobile test cases using selenium grid, make sure that Appium server is up and running on the designated node.
For more information about installing Appium Server, refer to the Qualitia Online Help.

Offline Execution on Sauce Labs
Sauce Labs is cloud environment which allows users to run tests in the cloud using different combinations of operating systems, browsers, and browser versions. In this environment all tests are executed on Sauce Labs VM. You can view the ongoing suite execution on Sauce Lab's Dashboard.
It is recommended to set ScreenCaptureMode value as Browser when the execution environment is Sauce or Remote.
You can set the value for FailStepOnBrowserScreenshotFailure as per the test case requirements (as true or false) to behave when the application under test generates any runtime Alert / Windows.
To know more about Sauce Labs visit: _+https://saucelabs.com/+_
Prior starting offline execution on Sauce Labs, ensure you have;
...
Notes:
If you are providing these values through command line, each value should be provided within double quotes if values are containing spaces; otherwise, the spaces in values will result in inconsistencies. For example, java -jar Qualitia-Offline-xxx.jar platform="Windows 8.1".
For more information on platforms, browsers, browser versions supported on Sauce, please refer https://saucelabs.com/platforms/.
If you do not set these values against platform in the Sauce.properties file, all your test cases will be executed on Linux. Also, if you do not specify the version, test cases will be executed using the latest version of browsers.

When the Application under Test is mobile application and you want to execute the offline package in the Sauce Labs environment, you need to configure the saucemobile.properties file accordingly.
To update the saucemobile.properties file:
...
Notes:
For more information about property possible values, refer the saucemobile.properties file.
You can use the Platform Configurator maintained by Sauce Labs to get the exact values of properties to set in the configuration files. Open Platform Configurator, select the properties based on which you want to configure your device on Sauce Labs and you will find the list of properties to be set in the configuration file at the end of page.
If you are providing these values through command line, each value should be provided within double quotes if values are containing spaces; otherwise, the spaces in values will result in inconsistencies. For example, java -jar Qualitia-Offline-xxx.jar platform="Windows 8.1".
For more information on platforms, browsers, browser versions supported on Sauce, please refer https://saucelabs.com/platforms/.
If you do not specify the version of browsers, test cases will be executed using the latest version of browsers.
