Viewing Test Results

Computers where your TestComplete tests will run must have the following software installed:

• If you use Visual Studio Test tasks to run tests, Visual Studio Team Services Build and Release Agent for Windows.

  – or –

  If you use Run Functional Tests tasks to run tests, one of the following versions of Test Agent for Microsoft Visual Studio:

  • Test Agent for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 RTM and Update 1

  • Test Agent for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015 Update 2

  Note:

  You can use the Visual Studio Test Agent Deployment task to install the test agent. To learn about requirements the remote computers must meet to install the test agent on them, see the step description in the MSDN Library.

• TestComplete 12 (or TestExecute 12).

• TestComplete 12 Visual Studio Integration Package.

  The Integration Package installer is shipped along with TestComplete. You can find it in the TestComplete folder after installing the product:

  Run this installer after installing TestComplete on your build computer or test agent computers. In the installation wizard, select a Test Agent Integration feature appropriate to your agent version.
