Mapping objects on embedded software

    TestComplete doesn't have any visibility of objects inside any remote control window, whether it is tightVNC or the MSTSC RDP windows.  So, if you are on MachineA running TestComplete and you are connected to MachineB via tightVNC, all you have visibility into is the tightVNC window and the objects and properties of that window.

     

    If you want to actually recognize objects within that remote machine, you should install a license of TestComplete on that machine and then develop and run your tests on that machine.  Or, run the AUT that you're trying to work with locally, automate it on TestComplete, install a TestExecute license on the remote machine and then use TestComplete's Network Suite feature to execute those tests remotely.
