Overview
testgrinder is a tool for automating IBM Maximo tasks such as user acceptance testing, regression testing, stress testing, initial data loads, data updates, data verifications, recording of training videos, consistent change deployment across environments, and others. testgrinder executes scripted scenarios as a human would, by interacting with Maximo through a web browser. testgrinder moves the cursor, clicks buttons, and enters data just like a real user would, while also taking screenshots and recording video of the entire interaction. testgrinder Script Runner Server (tg-bot) is a companion server to testgrinder Application Server (tg-app). Start your testgrinder deployment with the testgrinder Application Server (tg-app). See more at https://docs.testgrinder.com/

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
- A bug that limited the number of launched bots was fixed.
- The requirements for subnets to assign public IP addresses were removed.
- The FORCE_SSL configuration file parameter was added. When set to false, testgrinder will respond over HTTP. When set to true (or not specified), HTTP requests will be redirected to HTTPS. When testgrinder is launched without user data, FORCE_SSL will default to false to allow interaction until the SSL certificate is configured.
- The export-user-data script was added for exporting configuration files in the User Data format as described in the testgrinder documentation.
- testgrinder bots will now self-terminate if abandoned by testgrinder.
- The MONIT_NOTIFY_FROM_EMAIL configuration file parameter was added, allowing you to specify the email address that will appear in the "From" field of Monit notification emails.
- The stop, start, and status scripts were added for stopping, starting, and checking the status of all testgrinder services.
- The .sh extension was removed from the restart.sh script.
- A delay was added to the starting of testgrinder services until provisioning completes.
- The delay in background jobs posting logs to Papertrail was reduced.
- The number of Delayed Job workers was reduced to 3 from 4.
