Setting Up Execution Servers

Silk Central execution servers are responsible for executing scheduled tests, for example Silk Test Classic and Silk Performer scripts. Execution servers can be either physical or virtual (cloud-hosted) machines.

To execute Silk Test Classic and Silk Performer tests, Silk Test Classic or Silk Performer software must be installed on the same computer on which Silk Central execution servers are installed.

When executing Silk Performer scripts against multibyte applications or Web pages, review the Multibyte Support section in the Silk Performer Help.

For further details regarding the installation of execution servers, see Installing Silk Central. For information regarding Silk Test Classic and Silk Performer, refer to the respective product documentation.
