 does the test cell object in RQM can be defined as a collections of adapters (CLA) and then defined as the pool of machines a specific test suite can run on?

if it's possible - when a certain test cell is chosen - will the test cases will all run on one of the adapters in the test cell or will be distributed between several of them?

Hi,

Test Cells are way to define collection of Resources ( some of these resources may be running an Adapter ). The only thing Test Cells would contain is "Machine" or "Virtual Machine". More info on - 

Regarding your specific question about "defining CLA as pool of machines a specific Test Suite can run on", you could try something like this - 
  - Define a Test Cell and pool those machines which are running the adapters which you want to run your Test Suite On. 
  - In Manage Project Properties -> Execution Preference to be set as "Custom Search". 
  - Now while running a Test Suite, let RQM distribute tests at run time by selecting the test cell. This will allow selection of adapters to be done by the software within the specified test cell at run time, based on the availability.

Regarding last question - The test cases would choose the adapter running on one of the machines from Test Cell. 

Fore more information Lab Resources based Use Cases -  you could look for "test cell" and "Custom execution environment" sections from following article - https://jazz.net/library/article/976/

Thanks,
Abhishek

 thank you!

how can I ran a TSER on a test cell using RQM execution tool?
I see there that the tool's jar recieve only adapter ID as parameter and not a test cell ID.
