Configuring DNS tests

DNS tests of an NQA test group are used to test whether the NQA client can translate a domain name into an IP address through a DNS server and test the time required for resolution.

Before you start DNS tests, configure the mapping between a domain name and an IP address on a DNS server.

A DNS test simulates the domain name resolution. It does not save the mapping between the domain name and the IP address.
