After you have configured a test project and a build definition, you can run your build. Your TestComplete tests will be executed during the build run.
RequirementsRequirements
If you run your TestComplete tests on a build computer
Your build computer must have the following software installed:
-
Team Foundation Server with the Team Foundation Build Service component.
– or –
Team Foundation Build Service.
– or –
Visual Studio Team Services Build and Release Agent for Windows.
The build service or the build agent must be running in the interactive mode. Otherwise, TestComplete will not be able to interact with the desktop and with the tested application’s UI. -

-
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:
<TestComplete 12>\VS Integration\VSIntegration.exe
Run this installer after installing TestComplete on your build server. In the installation wizard, select the Visual Studio Integration feature and the Build and Test Integration or Test Agent Integration feature appropriate for the software you have installed on your build server.
| Note: | If your build server is running in non-interactive mode under Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, TestComplete tests may fail to start if TestComplete (or TestExecute) is already running on the build server. |
If you run your TestComplete tests on remote test agents
Remote computers where your TestComplete tests will run (test agents) must have the following software installed:
-
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
You can use the Visual Studio Test Agent Deployment task to install the test agent (see below). To learn about requirements the remote computers must meet in order for you to install the test agent on them, see the step description in the MSDN Library.
