Testcomplete - Unattended session

Testcomplete tool is not able to identify objects after locking the system.

Is there any solution other than testcomplete session executing on remote server ?

 

We need to integrate the tool with TFS for implementing devops in our project .

To implement this , its necessary to have testcomplete tool should identify the objects even if the sytem gets locked .

 

I appreciate if we can get answer earlist 

 

Thanks.

    Hi ganeshsonar

     

    I had the same problem and this topic from documentation helped me to solve it.

    Hi,

     

    Wamboo, actually, provided you with the solution.

    https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Desktop-Testing/How-run-UI-tests-on-a-Azure-VM-using-Azure-DevOps-VSTS/td-p/191883 thread may also benefit to you.

    Just a note that this is not a limitation of TestComplete, but fundamental behaviour of Windows OS that does not provide user desktop for the locked sessions and thus tested application has no place to render its UI on.
