You can tag each agent with the following replay capabilities:
- General – Any replay feature that does not require an installation (except browser-driven), including Web and IIOP.
- Browser-driven - Does not require an installation, but has a higher resource consumption capability than
General.
- Java – A Java run-time environment is available for Java Framework, Oracle Forms, Oracle Applications, Jacada, and Jolt.
- ODBC – An ODBC client is installed.
- Oracle OCI – An Oracle client is installed.
- SAPGUI – A SAPGUI client is installed.
- Citrix – A Citrix client is installed.
- Tuxedo – A Tuxedo client is installed.
- .Net – The .NET Framework is installed.
- GuiL Test – Terminal Services is installed and running on this agent.
Silk Test and the system under test must be installed.
For each capability, you can specify the maximum number of virtual users that the agent is capable of driving. Click the
Capabilities tab ( to complete this task.
Note: Depending on the hardware resources of the hosting machine, a
load-test agent can replay a varying number of virtual users based on the resource demands of each particular replay interface.
Therefore, agents are characterized by their hardware specifications, such as their CPU and memory, plus the number of virtual
users that can be executed based on a particular replay interface.
