      Overview

      Opkey’s Execution Agent is a test execution engine that helps you execute your test cases on Windows devices. You have to download and install the execution agent on your device.

      Note: Mac device users can use Agent Spock for test execution and don't need to install Opkey Execution Agent.

      Downloading Opkey Execution Agent

      You can download Opkey Execution Agent from the Tools section present on the top-right panel on Opkey dashboard.

      Enter the Agent Authentication Code you had copied earlier in the box. The authentication code is necessary to establish a connection between the Opkey domain and the agent, enabling the local machine to connect with Opkey's cloud server.

      If you want to install the agent without entering Authentication code, mark Continue without Authentication code checkbox and click on Next.
