Requirements

Run Builds

View Test Results

The computer where the tests will run must have the following software installed:

• Team Foundation Server with the Team Foundation Build Service component.

  – or –

  Team Foundation Build Service.

  – or –

  Build and Release Agent for Windows.

  – or –

  Test Agent for Microsoft Visual Studio.

  The build agent or the test agent must be running in interactive mode. Otherwise, TestComplete will not be able to interact with the desktop and with the tested application's UI.

• One of the Microsoft Visual Studio versions supported by TestComplete (optional, if you use Team Foundation Build 2010 or 2012).

• TestComplete 14 (or TestExecute 14).

• TestComplete 14 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 14>\VS Integration\VSIntegration.exe

  Run this installer after installing TestComplete on your build or test computer. 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 or test computer.

1. If you use Azure DevOps Services (formerly known as Visual Studio Team Services) or Team Foundation Server 2015–2018, open the web portal of your team project. You can navigate to your web portal directly in your web browser or open it from Team Explorer in Visual Studio.

   You can learn more about the web portal at docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/project/navigation/.

2. In Team Explorer or in the team project’s web portal, locate your build and queue it:
