Recording and playing test on running application

Hi,



New to TestComplete and in the process of evaluating.



I would like to be able to build and run tests without always starting the application and logging in, etc.



Basically I'd like to have a standard "Startup Test" which would launch  a Windows Desktop application and provide the necessary login information but then I want to record and run tests without having to exit and launch the application again.



How can I do this?



TIA -

Jim P.

    We did pretty much just what you said.  We have a "Login" test that launches the program and logs in and all our other tests are built assuming that Login has already happened.  



    You'll need to add your program as a Tested App, then use RunTestedApp to launch it, and from there you can record logging in.
