Network Test Server Setup

This page explains the steps for setting up a Network Test Server machine. This server is used by Qt's autotests for various testing. No building itself is done on this machine. It's only a server that provides services so that tests can be run.

Note: Since the old network test server (though it is still in use) can't easily be reproduced, and its Puppet configuration doesn't work anymore, we've started (2018) the work on replacing it with containerized network test servers. See QTQAINFRA-1029 for progress on that. Instructions for working with the containerized test servers are now on Network Testing.
