Triggering automated tests from Bamboo
Hi all, I know this is a somewhat trodden topic but just wondering if anyone has new solutions. I would like to have a Bamboo build trigger a TestExecute session on a remote VM. Anyone ha...

AlexKaras thanks for that Alex! I have used the NetworkSuite many times so am familiar with all that is required session-wise.
I have not been able to get PSEXEC to work with any kind of stability (TE might start but then its dialogs are gray and black with no text) at all but will check with RD Plus.
But thank you for the idea of tasks. Looking at the task scheduler, I may be able to inject my own event linked to a task which would launch TE from the command line pointed at my relevant test.
Will let you know how I go.
Hello,
I see TestComplete now has a plugin for Jenkins that sounds like it handles the "headless mode" issue. I believe this is a new feature as of v12. Can anyone provide feedback from using this plugin? Does anyone know of a solution for Bamboo besides the above? The above sounds like I'd still have to open an RD session from another VM using RemoteDesktopPlus and deal with timing issues since I'll also be starting the VM(s) from Bamboo. TIA!
Here’s some of what I found on this issue:
TestComplete for Bamboo:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.mdb.plugins.testcompletetask/server/overview - this sounds like it’s just for parsing (http://www.autotestingtools.com/testcomplete-task)
https://autumnator.wordpress.com/2011/11/18/how-to-run-remote-headless-gui-automation/ - this sounds like it has the same issue of having to initiate a remote desktop session with VNC.
Well, it seems like this is no longer an issue. I have it setup through the registry (RUN) to auto-logon and then start the remote agent; the remote agent then starts the TC tests through our framework, I think the issue was using tscon.exe to disconnect does not always work. So I just always reboot to run the tests on a "fresh boot".
After more testing, it seems like the screen resolution is changing when using tscon.exe to close the RD session. This is on Win2012R2 and the work-around is to set the resolution (using Set-DisplayResolution) before running the tests.
