How to Run VAPI-XP Tests in Test Mode

You can run your VAPI-XP test in test mode once you have added the test to a test set in the Test Lab module.

When you run a VAPI-XP test in test mode, test run data is created in the ALM project. You can run your VAPI-XP test in test mode from either the Test Plan or Test Lab module.

Note: To run VAPI-XP tests remotely, you must install the ALM Client Registration Add-in and the ALM Connectivity Add-in on the host machine on which the tests are executed. For details on add-ins, refer to the Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management Installation and Upgrade Guide.
