    TestComplete works mainly by hooking on low level system action and introspecting memory model.

    These are OS and processor architecture dependent.

    Testcomplete is built for Windows OS and x86 processor.

    TestComplete doesn't run on on Mac too for theses reasons.

     

    On Jaris, a fork of Solaris, there was a Windows execution system, name was Mandoris but this fork is discontinued.

    But on Sol10 or Sol 11 i don't know if you can find something to run hardcore Windows application.

Thanks for your quick response.

Can you please elaborate ...?

How it is ??

Solaris is Unix based.. I agreed 

Though it is UNIX based OS, what is the impact on Testcomplete?

      For Jaris (and then Mandoris) it will very hard to find something working.

      Last link was an attempt by japanese people to build a VM with Jaris installed.

      On wikipedia you have some info valuable :

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)

       

      Perhaps using Wine on Solaris ?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi_(software)

      But in past trials were made and fails ..

      http://www.sqaforums.com/showflat.php?Number=585928&X-ANT-WAF-Attempt=1

       

      If you can manage to launch a windows VM on Solaris, on this VM you will able to launch TestComplete ... but you'll be able to test only apps on this VM ...

       

       

      What is your need, automation on application under Solaris ?

      Which kind of test ?
