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

• If you use Visual Studio Test tasks to run tests:

  Build and Release Agent for Windows.

  If you use Run Functional Tests tasks to run tests (available for Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 2–2017 On-Premises):

  Test Agent for Microsoft Visual Studio.

  Note: You can use the Visual Studio Test Agent Deployment task to install the test agent. To learn about the requirements the remote computers where the test engine will be installed must meet, see the task description.

  The build agent or test agent must be running as an interactive process so that TestComplete can interact with the desktop and with the tested application UI.

  An interactive user session must be opened on the computer where the agent is running. You can open the session manually, or, if you use Team Foundation Server 2018 or later, you can configure the agent to run with the auto-logon enabled so that it opens a user session automatically when it starts.

• 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 computer or test agent computers. In the installation wizard, select a Test Agent Integration feature appropriate to your agent version.

If a test run fails, check whether your TestComplete project files that your release uses reside in the folder, where your test agents can access them, and that TestComplete (or TestExecute) is installed on the computers, where your tests run.
