Can i run codeduitests on a machine with only Test Agent and MsTest.exe where Visual studio 2010 Ultimate or premium will not be installed?

Question

Hi Guys,

I have developed Codedui Tests using VSTS2010 ultimate and have only single license.

My requirement is I should be able to run these codedUI tests on any machine both in onsite and present working location. so if a machine is installed with only TestAgent and MStest.exe can I run my scritps.

Note: We dont have TFS.

regards,

Nikhilesh

Hi Nikhilesh,

Consider into this issue, you could run your Coded UI Test on that machine which just installed test agent and mstest.exe. Also you could do this remotely by test controller, this isn’t relevant to TFS.

Here are two blogs for you, hope these could help:
