Run a test using the app

When the app launches it will ask for some input in order to run a test.

Test Server Domain - This is the domain or IP of the host MCS.

Test report alias name - This is a friendly name that will be used to identify results as a Session ID.

Manage tests at the server - When this checkbox is checked the Satellite App will require autorization from the server itself and can then be manually assigned work.

Test name to run - Satellites can automatically run a test without manual authroization by specifying a valid SWO (Satellite Work Order) name. Be sure to leave the checkbox unchecked if using this setting.
