Contents
1. 2 1 Overview Installation consists of the installation of the IT Mill Testing Tools Server and configuration of the server and the IT Mill Toolkit applications to be tested You can run the Testing Tools Server on the local host or on a dedicated testing server Using a dedicated server is recommended because if you run the Testing Tools Server and the application on the same server and the application crashes while being tested the Application Server can go to a state that causes the Testing Tools Server to also malfunction It is probably the most convenient way to install testing hosts by using virtualization softwares such as VMware Server or Virtual PC With virtual servers it is easy to setup tens of identical hosts by cloning an existing host 2 2 Installing IT MIII Testing Tools Server IT Mill Testing Tools is distributed as a WAR package which you can deploy to any Java Application Server or Servlet Container You should follow the deployment for the server that you use Instructions for Apache Tomcat are given below For context we suggest that you use TestingTools as used in the examples in this manual 2 2 1 Apache Tomcat With Apache Tomcat the simplest way to deploy IT Mill Testing Tools is to copy itmill testingtools version war to webapps directory under the Tomcat installation directory and rename it to TestingTools war WAR packages placed under the webapps directory will be auto deployed by Tomcat with th2. that you have also imported IT Mill Toolkit as an example project as instructed in IT Mill Toolkit Manual Eclipse IDE will look as shown below Installation Java EE Eclipse Platform File Edit Navigate Project Run Window Help Dr F 5g EZ b 13 itmilltoolkit examples Qon R Pr Ata ElPr 4 Se X S Sn El Co 3S De E b amp TestingTools ze 05mm Server State Status Tomcat v5 5 Server at loc e Stopped Republish D TestingTools 0 items selected 2 2 3 Upgrading When you upgrade the Testing Tools by redeploying the new WAR it will reuse the existing database so it is safe to upgrade IT Mill Testing Tools without losing the old database Simply replace the old WAR with the newer one If you have done some configuration inside the WAR itself for example to web xml you will need to reconfigure the new installation 2 3 Installing SSH Testing hosts need to have SSH service and an user account Test accounts username and password can be set through the Testing Tools Server just ensure that the accounts exists on the host machine Linux In Linux you can use either SSH or OpenSSH Installation depends on the Linux distribution On Debian Ubuntu and Kubuntu you can install OpenSSH Server with sudo apt get install openssh server Windows For Windows XP environments we suggest that you install the OpenSSHD package which can be downloaded from Sourceforge at h
