Understanding Offline Packages and Suites

If you are traveling or working in a location with unstable internet., you may need to execute tests without connecting to the QAS - Client. In such cases, an Offline Package lets you run tests without accessing QAS - Client. An offline suite is a local copy of a test suite, and it can run on various environments like local machines, remote servers, shared drives, or even cloud setups without having to use up any QAS licenses.

Create an Offline Package

Before running tests offline, you need a package containing all the necessary components. This is a one-time activity that is useful to execute any number of offline suites.

1. Login to QAS - Client.

2. Select the project for which you want to download the offline package.
