How run UI tests on a Azure VM using Azure DevOps (VSTS) ?

Hi All,   I have some TestComplete UI tests for a desktop application, which I am able to run via Visual Studio and integrate it with Azure DevOps (VSTS), however I would like to run these tests ...

    The build agent was configured to be interactive. 

     

    I was able to resolve this by re-configuring the build agent and enabling autologon, this works now.  :-)

     

    I knew that this has got nothing to do with TestComplete in a way, but was hoping if someone would have come across same issue in Azure. 

     

    thanks

Hi,

 

Yes, this seems to be the correct way.

Again, without too much knowledge about Azure DevOps but with the memories about Windows services:

-- Service, configured to be interactive is allowed to send messages to the user desktop if it is present. Service will do its job sulently/unattended if the desktop is absent;

-- Implemented autologon ensures that the user desktop is present and thus tested application can render its UI.
