Is CommandLine only executed via TestExecute?

?
You mean the other way round?
aka - is Test Execute only executed via Command Line?
In which case ....
No. It's an application. It can be started in the same way as most applications. Batch/Command Line is one option. And a good one if you're starting it remotely/automatically as you can pass in a bunch of parameters/switches to tell it what to run, run in silent mode, etc etc.
Are you doing this via Batch File? I have managed to create a batch file which Opens up TestComplete and run all test. But I am still struggling to understand how I can get latest version of my application before I run the tests and on which Vm i want to run the tests. Is it possible to share an example of you implentation?
Thanks

Unfortunately not.
All the application deployment and pulling down of test scripts from version control was handled by the build software (TeamCity) and build engineer.
As I say, I just told him where my repository was and provided the batch file to run the right tests.
How things get pulled and deployed will be different depending on the build software/environment you use. If you don't use TeamCity/TFS/GIT, our methods probably wouldn't work anyway. Your best bet would be to talk to whoever deals with build engineering (if anyone!) at your place ...
