Running GUI tests on Amazon Cloud

F.e.



For preparing you need 1 PC (VM or phisical not important ) for all RDP



Please try to use next cases:


  1. Connect to this PC via RDP

  2. Open in that RDP next RDP for running you test etc.

  3. Off your PC




look attach





If this work - let me know

Interesting, but you will need a TestComplete floating license for that, to be able to work with this setup right?

 

I mean, this won't work if you use a node locked license on a physical machine, right?

    Hi Mathijs,

     

    I think that if the 'controller' machine that you are connecting to at step 1 is a physical machine with installed node-locked TestComplete, then it should work.

    Obviously, all other machines controlled from the 'controller' must have floating licenses if they (machines) are virtual ones.

      or use TestExecute on them?

        Yes. This is something that is recommended considering consumed machine resources and license price.

        The only potential inconvenience is that your tests must be created in a way so that they can be adopted to different test environments without the need of TestComplete IDE. (E.g. You will have setup problems if your test environment parameterization data are stored in Project Variables because TestExecute provides no means to edit values of the Project Variables.)
