Running More Than 245 Virtual Testers
If your suite runs more than 245 virtual testers total, you must change two settings in
the NuTCRACKER operating environment on the Local computer. To run more than
245 virtual testers on an NT Agent computer, you must make the same changes on
that Agent.
To change these settings:
1
Click
Start > Settings > Control
Panel > Nutcracker
.
2
Click the
NuTC 4 Options
tab.
3
Select
Semaphore
Settings
from the Category list.
4
Change the
Max Number of Semaphores
to N + S + 10, where N is the number of
virtual testers that you want to run and S is the number of shared variables used
by scripts in the suite.
5
Repeat for
Max Number of Semaphores Per ID
.
