Apptimized TO GO agent implementation
Application import
To run the Discovery or Testing process via Apptimized TO GO the application must be imported to the project.
The option to start the import is called “Classic import”. It is available under Import in project menu > Start Import section > Classic import option.
The initial preparation process may take a while. In case of success, Apptimized shows the Upload sources and discovery document step.
Three options to upload Installation Source are available:
- Upload application file from customer's PC;
- Upload application file from the Internet;
- Upload application file from the file storage.
The Installation Source uploading progress is shown as follows:
The uploading time depends on the application's size. When the download of the application is completed, the customer can start uploading another application. Five application uploads are available for one session.
Uploading Discovery Document is optional. A discovery document can be generated on previous sessions.
One discovery document upload is available for one session.
The Upload sources and discovery document step finalizes by clicking on the Next button.
Apptimized shows the Metadata step when successful.
The process reverts to the previous step by clicking on the Upload sources and discovery document button.
To extract the application metadata automatically a customer can select the main installer from the list on the left or can enter the metadata manually into the fields on the right. All required fields have * in front of their label.
The following metadata will be provided:
