Cloud Runner Test User REST API
Manages test user jobs to be executed in a cloud runner for Automated Test Framework (ATF).
The Cloud Runner Test User API requires the ATF Test Generator and Cloud Runner (sn_atf_tg) plugin. The methods available with this API run in the now namespace and can be called using API Name, One-click regression testing for ATF, in the REST API Explorer. The admin role is required to access this API.
- Start the user test job.
- Set the cloud user.
- Check if the user specified is valid.
- Check the progress of the user test job.
- Cancel the test job.
The Cloud Runner Test Runner API may be used in tandem with the Cloud Runner Test Generation REST API and Cloud Runner Test User REST API. For instance, you can generate a test (Cloud Runner Test Generation API) and then get the progress of the test in the browser orchestration queue (Cloud Runner TEST Generation API) and check the number of tests that passed or failed.
To view the Server API reference documentation of this API, see Cloud Runner TestUserApi – Scoped, Global.
