Enabling environments on Test Agents

This topic describes how to enable test environments on test agents.

Before you begin

The first time you start Rational® Functional Tester, it automatically enables your environment for running functional test scripts. If you add a browser or add a new Java™ environment, you must enable the new browser or Java environment.

If you use TestManager or Rational ClearQuest® Test Manager to coordinate your testing activities and run a functional test script on a test agent computer, you must enable environments on the agent computer that runs the script.
