Automated Start of the User Interface with Powershell-Window

Post by steffi » Mon Dec 09, 2019 3:08 pm

Hey guys,

I am using the trial version of Ranorex Studio.
I would like to perform automated GUI Software tests and start our own application automatically.

A Powershell-Window can start the application with the use of specific commands.
These commands are stored in a file.
I don't know very much about Ranorex Studio yet and I don't know how to implement this.
Could someone help me?

In a record, I could click a shortcut that will automatically execute the powershell with the commands.
Unfortunately, this works only temporarily and it is tied to the place of the shortcut on the desktop.

I hope someone understands my situation and can help me.
I you have any questions, please answer me, I'll try to explain it better. :)

Thanks.
Steffi

Hi,

I think you best chance is to use Run Application command, where you can specify powershell.exe as app to start and required powershell file and parameters, as argument.
