System Requirements

• Visual Studio Integration Package must be installed on your computer.

  The installation package is shipped with TestComplete and is located in the <TestComplete 12>\VS Integration folder.

• To add TestComplete tests to Visual Studio test projects and run them from Visual Studio, one of the following versions of Microsoft Visual Studio is required:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2015–2017 (Community, Enterprise and Professional editions).

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 (Community, Ultimate, Premium, and Professional editions).

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2010–2012 (Ultimate, Premium, and Professional editions).

• To run TestComplete tests as part of Visual Studio test projects remotely on computers where Visual Studio is not installed, or in your lab environment, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 - 2013 Test Agent is required.

• To run TestComplete tests as part of the build & release pipeline:

  • One of the following versions of Team Foundation Server is required:

    Team Foundation Server 2010–2018 On-Premises.

    Team Services.

    Note:

    Use private agents to run TestComplete tests. Running TestComplete tests on hosted agents is not supported. You can find more information on hosted and private agents in the Build and Release Agents article of the MSDN Library.

  • On the computer, where tests will run, the following software must be installed (depending on the task you are performing and on the version of Team Foundation Server you use):

    Team Foundation Build Service.

    – or –

    Visual Studio Team Services Build and Release Agent for Windows.

To use Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - 2013 files in tests, you must have the Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider installed on your computer.

It is important to have the data provider of the “bitness” same as TestComplete has (32- or 64-bit), otherwise, you will get the “The needed data source driver is not installed...” error message. So, if you use 64-bit TestComplete, you must have the 64-bit version of the provider.

You can get this data provider as part of the following software:

• Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable. You can download it on the Microsoft web site:

  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

  Again, make sure to download and install the 32- or 64-bit installation package that matches the TestComplete version you use.

  If you have 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010, the installation of the 64-bit provider will fail. In this case, perform the following steps to install it: Show Steps Show StepsHide Steps Run the installer with the /passive command-line argument. Run the Registry Editor. To do this, open the Start menu, type regedit and press Enter. Find the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\FilesPaths. Delete or rename the mso.dll registry value. Otherwise, the data provider will get corrupted after the first Excel run.
