Article Summary

What you will need to run tests using Autify Connect

To run Autify tests against your private apps using Autify Connect, you need to have the following environments prepared. Each of these environments can be on separate servers or PCs, or one machine can take care of everything.

EnvironmentDescription
Recording EnvironmentThis is where you record your tests with Autify Recorder. You can record your tests on your local application in the same way as you do against a public web application accessible from the internet, and note that your data will need to be sent to Autify via the Internet during recording
Machine with Autify Connect Client installedThis serves as a gateway between Autify and the application under test, which allows Autify to access your application through Autify Connect Client. This can be either a server or a PC, and even the same machine as the Recording environment as long as Autify Connect Client is installed and running when you want to run your tests. Autify Connect Client will communicate with Autify Connect Server on Autify to establish a secure tunnel
Private web application under testThis is the target application you want to test from Autify, it does not need to be accessible from the Internet

Let's take a look at the requirements for each environment.

  • Latest Chrome browser with Autify Recorder installed
  • Outbound Internet connectivity (Specifically, towards app.autify.com)
    • This is required to upload assets to Autify while recording
  • Access to the application under test
