Re: Running GUI tests on a remote windows EC2 instance without using remote desktop connection
Ah yes, I should have made it clearer - TestComplete is downloaded to the EC2 instance. So what I want to be able to do is have my tests execute even when I do not have a remote desktop connection to my EC2 instance.1.1KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Running GUI tests on a remote windows EC2 instance without using remote desktop connection
The EC2 continues to "live" without the remote connection. I was able to verify this by running the execution plan which ran to completion despite having closed my connection to it by terminating the remote desktop connection. The issue appears when the test requires the simulated user input ie. entering a password or clicking a button. Essentially, I want to know is it possible to run GUI tests without the GUI? I was looking into SessionCreator but I'm not sure if this would meet my needs.1.2KViews0likes4CommentsRunning GUI tests on a remote windows EC2 instance without using remote desktop connection
Hello SmartBear community! I want to know whether it is possible to achieve what I have described in the subject line. I have found that I can execute my TestComplete tests (which are being used to test a websites UI) whilst the remote desktop connection window is minimised (achieved by following this guide: Running Tests in Minimized Remote Desktop Windows | TestComplete Documentation (smartbear.com)) I want to know if is possible to execute the tests (using a task scheduler) on the EC2 instance when NOT connected to it via remote desktop connection. The issue seems to be that the tests require a GUI to execute properly. Is there a workaround for this?Solved1.5KViews0likes6Comments
