Log onto VM
- Revert your Player VM instance to the clean image snapshot.
- Power on your Player VM.

Copy the STP File
- After you log on, copy the STP file generated in the build process to the local drive of the VM (i.e. Desktop or Downloads). To mount the share you will need to use the following command:
net use \\feas-it-files.appsci.queensu.ca\AppsAnywhere /user:ad\NetIDto establish the connection, followed by
code>\\feas-it-files.appsci.queensu.ca\AppsAnywhere
to open the window.

Extract ZIP File
- Once the STP file is copied over, right click the file and use 7Zip to extract the file.
- Double click the *.TOK file — it will have the CloudPaging Player icon.
- Double click the Cloudpaging Player icon in the task tray to open the Cloudpaging window. You should see your app listed with a status of ready.

- Select/highlight the app if it is not already selected.
- Click the Launch button on the ribbon bar.
Perform Testing
1
Performance Test
- Does the application launch (assuming the application should autolaunch)?
- Do start menu items get created?
- Does the application do what it is supposed to?
- Can you exit and relaunch the application?
- Can you access the local disk from the application?
When these tests are complete and successful you can mark the testing complete and the Service Request will get re-assigned to SysOps.
