Creating a location

Test locations associate a target host with a test deployment. The test suite will be executed on the target host specified in the test location.

Test locations are created with the New Location wizard:

1. Open the Test Perspective, right-click in the Test Navigator, and select New > Test Element... > Test Assets > Location, and click Next.
2. Select the parent folder and define the name of the test location and click Next.
3. Provide a description for the test location and click Next.
4. Enter the host name or IP address of the target host. By default, localhost is entered. Test the connection to the target host by clicking the Test Connection link¹.
5. Click Finish to create the test location.
6. The Confirm Open Editor dialog may appear (see the Window > Preferences... > Test > Open Editor preference), confirming if the new test location is to be opened in the Location editor.

[1] The Agent Controller or Integrated Agent Controller (local host only) is required to be configured and running.
