Scheduled execution of Testcomplete fails.

Thanks for the answer.



The page you referring to have 3 solutions.



1. Remote Desktop.

We use that to run manually start tests with TestComplete. But the doc says:

While running tests that interact with GUI, the Remote Desktop window
must be visible on the screen. If you minimize the Remote Desktop window
or disconnect from the Remote Desktop Connection session, the GUI tests
will fail.



So this cannot be used 06:00 every morning for the scheduled task.



2.  Virtual Machine. You can use Virtual Machine software, VMware server, VMware ESX or Microsoft Virtual server 2005:

• 
  

  Install TestComplete and your application to a virtual machine. Also,
  copy all files that your application and TestComplete project may
  require for running and testing.

  
  


• 
  

  Lock the virtual machine’s host computer.

  
  


• 
  

  Log onto the virtual machine from any other computer.

  
  


• 
  

  Start executing tests.

  
  

TestComplete will run tests on the virtual machine despite the host being locked.

We use VMWare Workstation and Microsoft HyperV . I assume this works with those.

So if the Virtual machines window is open all the time and started by a scheduled task this can work automatically ?



3. Network Suite.

This require 2 licenses and we only have one.



So it seems that we must running th test on a virtual machine if I understand the docs correct ?
