how to perform test on apps residing on remote computer?

I have a laptop in my home, where testcomplete is installed, and the project suite is in my laptop in home. the apps I want to test is in my office in the server machine. Can I perform test from home in this case? thanks

    Hi,



    To run tests, TC must be launched on the machine where the tested application is launched. You can connect to your office machine via remote desktop and run your tests there.

    So, for my case where TC is in my laptop while the tested app is in another computer, TC has no feature to handle this? Thanks

    Hi,



    There's no way to test applications remotely because there's no way to access GUI objects of processes via network. The only alternative to running TC on the same machine with the tested application is to use coordinate-based actions with the RD window.
