Schedule test run without display the application on the window

Hello

 

I would like to schedule the run of my scripts of a Desktop application, but the problem that it should keep the Remote Desktop window visible during the test run.

Could you please give me a solution to run scripts without keeping the window visible ?

 

Thank you

Best Regards

    It shows how you will be able to minize the remote desktop after kicking off the test and continue with your work on your PC while the tests continue to run on the remote PC.

     

    I have implemened this and it works great.

    There are ways - I find them fiddly and I also run into issues with screen resolution when using RDP - I really recommend using TightVNC instead of using RDP.  You can close the VNC window and the tests will still run (unlike when using RDP).
