TestExecute Query

HI, i have my TestComplete scripts to be execute using TestExecute. Mine is WPF appilcation which need Microsoft Visual Studio to run my application. My query is, do we need to install the Microsoft Visual Studio in that the machine where I am goin to execute my scripts using TestExecute or i don't have to install that software???



If TestExecute doesn't need the VS software then could you pls explain me  how does the TestExecute runs my application.



Thanks in advance

    Hi Dhana,


    As far as I understand, TestExecute just calls the specified file using standard Windows features. So, if you need some additional tools that will run your application, I think, you need to install such software on each machine that will be used to run your tests. So, if I were you, I'd install Microsoft Visual Studio on the machine with TestExecute. :)

    Hi Irina, it looks silly to ask such query but in my firm, we have an seperate server which runs all the TC scripts using TestExecute in which TC was not installed and the results are as expected but those servers doesn't hav Microsoft VS installed, as i don't have much knowledge in TestExecute, thought my query will get solved by posting here
