How to organize Test Complete and Test Execute

We do it both ways.   Some places we share folders and some places have their own folders that we update.  



I have several machines that I need to run tests on but I usually do the work on my laptop with the project folder in my personal network drive so I know I'm getting the tests that I just worked on but maybe don't want to check in to the repository yet.



Our tests that run with the overnight build have their own project folder but we automatically checkout the whole project first and then run the tests so that we always run the most recent tests with the build.



We did all this by trial and error.  You can try one way and if that doesn't work for you,  just switch it around.

Hi,



So I could make TE and TC share the same remote folder, and with batchs makes TE runs after the night built of our software.



Am I right ?

I also deploy the same way as Marsha Robertson. It works and meets our need for now. At night time, all VMs will check out the entire project and activate TestExecute to run test suites by using Windows scheduled tasks. 

Same here.



VM's running TE always pull down an entire project from version control. All run as part of nightly build. Or can be started manually during normal hours if needed.

Hi Mehdi,
