Best Practices: Running Appvance IQ testing using EC2 cloud file

The Best Practices that needs to be followed are below:

• Please make sure that Appvance IQ installed on the machine is using the License file that you have been provided with so that the new machines does not run into license issues while executing tests.
• Add Appvance IQ under Start up services so that once the machine starts, IQ is started automatically.
• Make sure the browsers are installed and are configured to have the correct paths.
• Once all the above changes are done create a new image and use this image to create machines while running tests.
• Do not run the test on Local machine instead EC2 machines to run these kind of tests which involves cloud file.
• Always click "Test Configuration" under cloud management to verify if the credentials entered are valid
• The Database URL should be changed from localhost URL to the name of the EC2 machine or use an RDS instance in Scenario Builder.
• Make sure to set "Terminate" as All and "Reboot" as Never under Locations in Scenario Builder or use these options depending on the needs.
