    I'm assuming you've read this article?

    https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/automating/command-line-and-exit-codes/command-line.html

     

    Because, all you need to do is pass in the project suite as the file name and then the project name.  That is, so long as the project is part of the project suite.  Something like

     

    "C:\Program Files\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "C:\My Projects\MySuite.pjs" /r /p:MyProj /e /SilentMode

    The above example is taken straight from the help topic.  This will load the project suite and then execute the project indicated.

    Now, just one note... the project must be part of the project suite.  If you're trying to run a project and have it report under a project suite to which it is not attached, this will not work.  But the above code line should do what you're asking given any project within a given project suite.

It's a little bit annoying for parrallel testing...

Umm I'm quite sure it is possible to drill down into the project you want and event the keyword test or script that you want to run. You'll simply have to use the command line (with a lot of arguments). I did it once when I was evaluating TestExecute for the first time to see if it actually worked although that was a while ago so I don't have a sample for you. See the info here for how to use the CLI to do what you want:
