Automating GUITesting project

[shilpi_agarwal]

Basically I can open the TestComplete project manually and run the tests.

Now we want to automate that process, so how do you do it? I want to automate the process of opening TestComplete after each build, run all the tests and send an email with the test results.

For this, following command is used-

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 11\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "D:\Test\GUITesting\GUITesting.pjs" /r /p:GUITestingAutomation /e

This is working fine. But I really do not know the process of automating?

Please suggest step by step procedure.

hi,

here is an article on  how to send the results via email.

I think it would be best to implement the process of saving the results and sending them as an KeywordTest.

If you use a build-script or a build-server you could extend your build with your command-line call.

Here is an overview of the TestComplete Command Line

A build-Server would have several advantages like automated build  and test execution on commits or other events, email-notifications and the test execution would not have to run locally.

I do not have an idea for How can we generate build? I just checked how can we can the test project from command line and through batch file..  I need to know the further steps for complete automation.. Please suggest what steps needed to perform for generating build, commited to SVN and then use of CI Server(Jenkins).

I'm sorry i haven't used Jenkis yet.

But I think this is not the ideal place on how to automate a build.

Perhaps this can help you out.
