I have been running into problems with our automated test scripts failing intermittently. I have narrowed it down to when we try to run the tests using remote execution. I have created a simple demo test which runs successfully on the local VM (Machine A which has Test Studio Functional installed) but when I try to run that same test list on the remote execution server (Machine B which has Test Studio Run-time installed), the test "hangs" and eventually fails.
I have attached the test project along with the execution server log for you to look at. There is also a video demonstrating the issue at this link: http://www.screencast.com/t/Ys1YAmvdICl
STEPS TO RECREATE:
1. Open Test Studio and open the "Google_Test" folder
2. Select "Test Lists" -> "All Browsers" Test List -> "Run List"
3. The test executes and passes
4. Select "Run List Remotely" and run the same test list on a remote execution server
5. The test runs much slower and even hangs after awhile, causing the script to fail eventually (see video at this link: http://www.screencast.com/t/Ys1YAmvdICl)

I am not able to reproduce this behavior on my end. For some reason the web pages on your VM are loading extremely slow, and the wait for URL step timeouts which is expected behavior. Why this is loading on your end so slow I cannot tell. One thing you can try is to run the test list locally on the VM that you have troubles with, I am certain that you will reproduce this behavior without using the scheduling functionality.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
