Champion Level 3Use VM's with SessionCreator and see the suggestions provided in SessionCreator - password encryption in command? | SmartBear Community
Windows Environment Variables, are just variables, and these can be viewed easily.
With physical machines, you're giving everyone access.
I am trying to understand SessionCreator, I have never used it. Does it allow me to run scripts on a computer WITHOUT having to sign on to that computer?
Champion Level 3Have a read through Running Tests via Remote Desktop, and the sub topics in Running Tests to get a rough idea.
As I do web testing, it's required to have a GUI (as opposed to headless web testing) so I have a specific user that's automatically signed in, into the VM. The VM has TestExecute installed. I use SessionCreator to launch and run the automation, via PowerShell script. I can call the PowerShell script from my local machine, to run the automation. Once the automation has completed, within the PowerShell script, it performs the necessary clean up and then sends the automated test results to the testing team, which is similar to the Summary Report.
We have "fake users" that log into the web application, so the testing teams credentials are not used or exposed within the automation scripts. Also, the testing team can log into the VM using the specific account.
