.exe file run in test execute

[sathashiv5]

Hi,

Is it possible to convert the project suite(with project scripts, keywords) into binary executable? And run in Test Execute Tool.

Since, Test execute support file format -> .pjs and .mds. Does the Extensions(has installed with .net framework) will run .exe file? 

(Note: Test Execute providing .Net Framework->so, Can we run .exe file)

I have asked for this Log feature to be considered for a future release, if you think this will be handy for you then please support the idea

Another issue to consider could be the type of test and the visualizer images that are created (KW tests)

ref: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/visualizer/index.html

When to use Test Visualizer

• Use Test Visualizer for debugging purposes and while searching for errors. Images and data that Test Visualizer collects help you understand what your recorded test does, or what has happened in your tested application during the test run.

  Keep in mind that collecting the data may reduce the test performance. In addition, the collected data occupies the hard disk space.

• Disable Visualizer or limit its functionality when your tests run smoothly. It will save disk space and makes the tests run a bit faster.

  Note that disabling Visualizer makes it difficult to understand what goes wrong in case of an error.

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/visualizer/enabling-and-disabling.html

"Test Visualizer data, especially screenshots of the whole desktop, can take a lot of disk space. To save disk space, you can limit the amount of saved data or disable the Visualizer. This will also speed up test recording and playback."

don't forget to 'prune' you tests and Delete All Visualiser frames (bottom button) after this action, not sure if this is done automatically

or Convert to Keyword tests - but with this approach, you will lose the option to be able to get the visualizer images back as you are unable to convert script tests back to KW tests

Hi @Lee_M ,

Thank you for your timely advice. It will also take some memory too. We may use this feature according to our need.

Hi @AlexKaras ,

Thanks for the reply. Our project involves incremental script inclusion for future aspects, we want to know whether we could make it executable, so the size of project may be reduced and use this exe for loading in other systems(like a GUI for our client). Otherwise, we try to create a batch file and then we make it as exe file to further proceedings. 

In order to ease the use of testing from client point of view, we would like to make it in simple. That's why we looking for this feature. But anyway thanks.

And Thank you @Lee_M for making huge steps for us.
