Get started
Elastic Execution Grid is a cloud-based environment where you can store, run, and track tests over time. It gives you reliable results within minutes, no matter how many machines you have, or how complex your tests are. Elastic Execution Grid is compatible with a variety of test frameworks, such as Tricentis Tosca, software of other vendors, or open source products.
Get to know Elastic Execution Grid
If you haven't yet, take a moment to review the basics:
"About Elastic Execution Grid" shows how Elastic Execution Grid works. It also explains key concepts that you need to understand, for example Agents Agent machines are the machines on which you execute your tests. They host the Agent Service and the Runners. The Agent Service receives the Flow from the server and directs it to the required Runner. The Runner actually executes the test. or Characteristics Characteristics help you define which Elastic Execution Grid Agent should execute which tests. When you set up an Agent, you define its Characteristics: one for every application that's relevant to your tests. When you push tests to Elastic Execution Grid, you define which Characteristics you need to run these tests. Elastic Execution Grid forwards tests only to Agents with matching Characteristics. Only Agents that have all Characteristics you specify can execute the tests..
