NV Test Manager license features
The NV Test Manager license includes the following features:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Emulation flows |
Defines the number of emulation flows that can run concurrently. Each test can include one or more emulation flows. A flow is a set of network impairments and conditions that are applied to the network traffic that moves between the client and server IP addresses that are specified in the flow. When installing or checking out a license, the number of emulation flows is subtracted from the purchased bank of emulation flows, as defined in the OpenText license portal. Bank of emulation flows When purchasing Network Virtualization, the purchaser specifies the total number of emulation flows required for all potential licenses. This becomes the "bank" of emulation flows from which each NV Test Manager license can "check out" as many emulation flows as needed. Purchased emulation flows can be divided among all NV Test Manager installations, as shown in the following example. Example: If your company purchased 100 emulation flows, in the OpenText license portal you can activate:
Integration with other OpenText products Digital Lab. Each mobile device uses one emulation flow. UFT One. Each UFT One instance uses one emulation flow. |
