How to use Eclipse's embedded Jubula AUT Agent instead of the standalone agent?


I am trying to develop functional tests using Jubula's client API, but every example I have seen uses much out of Jubula standalone. I would like to develop and run tests without having Jubula standalone installed. Given that I have the necessary libraries from jubula_8.5.0.127\development\api\JARs, and Eclipse for Testers package, how could I start and connect to an AUT Agent without having Jubula standalone installed on my system? I want a pure Java route and do not want to use the standalone AUT Agent executable (.exe).

It is perplexing to me that the help for Eclipse for Testers package of Eclipse has an entire topic on Jubula development which would depend on the standalone being installed. Optimally, I'd like to be able to develop and run using the Jubula client API without using anything from the Jubula standalone.


Solution

  • It is now possible that you can start the AUT agent out of java. So there is no need for the external autagent. See the documentation for more details[1]
