QUESTION
----------------------------------

When running a test from SilkCentral Test Manager, is the SilkTest Agent or Silk Central used for test execution?

ANSWER
----------------------------------

When a test is run via SilkCentral Test Manager, the Execution server launches SilkTest and passes control to SilkTest. SilkTest will then execute the tests as normal using the SilkTest Agent. Once SilkCentral Test Manager detects that SilkTest is finished the executions, control then passes back to it in order to retrieve the results.
