Nov 30, 2021

During provisioning, the toolkit can provide a Data Source Name (DSN) to a compatible CloudWorks backend to capture additional data about the tests. CloudWorks will provide the DSN once configured for data feeds, it should be in the form of a web URL. 

If a CloudWorks backend is to be used, the following variable will need to be configured as Extra values during the Provisioning step.

  • rdt_config_cloudworks_dns- The DSN URL of the CloudWorks server

In additional the following values are optional to provide but will change the behavior of CloudWorks.

  • rdt_config_cloudworks_context - A unique identifier which can be used to connect test data to a specific session or individual in the future. Should be a non-identifiable field like a case id
