You are using Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) to run an automated test suite with 240 long- running tests.
In your test environment, you have set up four client machines to run these tests. You have assigned the Client role to all four machines.
You need to make sure that when you run the test suite, the tests are distributed equally over all four client machines.
What should you do?
A. Add an even amount of RAM to all four machines.
B. In the Test Controller Manager view, change the distribution property for the test controller to 4.
C. In the Content view, configure the test suite to use all four environments.
D. In the Test Controller Manager view, change the Weighting property for all four test agents to 60.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Test Agent
The test agent runs as a service that listens for requests from the test controller to start a new test. When a request is received, the test agent service starts a process on which to run the tests. Each test agent runs the same load test.
Test agents are assigned a weight by the administrator, and load is distributed according to a test agent’s weighting. For example, if test agent 1 has a weighting of 30, and test agent 2 has a weighting of 70, and the load is set to 1000 users, then test agent 1 simulates 300 virtual users whereas test agent 2 simulates 700 virtual users.
