We have a Windows kiosk-based application where users can access the application with specific credentials and are unable to install any software on the machine. Does TestComplete support automating kiosk-based applications? Any suggestions on this would be helpful for us."

There is no specific support for kiosk-based application, and personally I see it irrelevant. As Windows Kiosk mode is to control the devise usage it should not interfere with the application functionality.
I assume you have such setup, are you having difficulties or challenges automating?
TestComplete's documentation doesn't explicitly mention Windows kiosk mode. However, it does provide guidance on running tests on locked computers, which is relevant for kiosk environments.

In Windows kiosk mode, you are typically limited to running only one application. However, there are ways to set up multiple apps or functionalities:
1.Multi-App Kiosk Mode (Windows 10/11 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions)
2.Shell Launcher
3.Custom Solutions
Hi varumbharathi,
I hope you are not expecting a yes/no answer :-). I don't think there will be any issues for TestComplete to work with the objects and controls of a "Windows kiosk-based application". I am not familiar with this type of application - is it true that in kiosk mode the user is allowed to use a single application in full screen, and people using the device can only use that app.? - how would you then test the applicaton? Tell us more about your application to get a better answer.
