(8.6.X) Executions on Perfecto

Introduction

Perfecto is a cloud-based lab for Web and Mobile application testing. It allows running tests in the cloud using different combinations of operating systems, browsers, and browser versions. In this environment, all desktop web application tests are executed on virtual machines (VMs) and mobile application tests are executed on physical devices. Perfecto allows you viewing video recordings of the test case executions after the suite executions are completed.

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: 
   

   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.
