Description    

Often, Software Testers have requirements to install GenRocket Runtime on a Testing Automation Server so that it can run Test Data Generation Scenarios. We call this type of server a Named Server.
 

Any Named Server executing GenRocket Scenarios to generate synthetic test data must be registered in the GenRocket system. 


When software tests are run on an automation server and call GenRocket Scenarios to generate synthetic test data, a check is made to validate the Named Server.


We use the term Named Server because Test Automation Servers are sometimes changed, so the Named Server can be reassigned to a new Test Automation Server.
