How to setup VM to run recorded script

[gayathri]

Hi,
I have recorded script for web application.
Now, I want to run this script in VM so that I can continue to work on other tasks in my Machine.

Is there any documentation available like how to setup this?

Any information would be helpfu

Hi,

It depends how exactly you want to run your tests? If you want to run them manually, then simply get the solution from your version control system (on that VM), load the solution to Ranorex (must be installed on target machine) and simply run your test.

Another possibility is to use Ranorex Remote execution, built directly in Ranorex Studio:

However, I think you should consider something more powerful, like integrating Ranorex with Jenkins CI. You can find detailed instructions here:

Thanks for the reply.

Here is my understanding from the documentation:
1. Install Ranorex in RDM
2. Copy the Solution in to RDM
3. Execute the Solution in RDM

But, what I should be doing if I want to trigger the test from my Host Machine and run the solution in RDM?
Please suggest me the best practice.

Here are the details:
Ranorex Verison - 8.0.1
.NET - 4.0.30319
OS - Windows 10

I agree with setting up Jenkins to deploy and run your tests. It is worth the extra effort to learn and get it setup. Ranorex works well through the Jenkins CI. I use it in conjunction with GIT to deploy and run Ranorex tests on VMs. Jenkins can be configured to meet your needs. I have it setup to trigger some overnight web application tests on one of any 3 Jenkins agents. I also have it installing Windows applications, testing them, and uninstalling them on different Windows languages and versions. Jenkins also keeps the history of tests as well. It has a lot of plugins that can help you.

My personal opinion is:
The only way to go is Jenkins, tried pretty much everything else, Jenkins can custom fit pretty much any needs with plugins and open source. Anything can be accomplished with it for automation.
