Remote spying

[Thor.Irgens]

Hi.

We currently use C# Ranorex client libraries to automate some UI application. Tests run on the same machine as the application. I have a little dream separating the test running machine from the application machine, so I can load "clean" application machine (VM) during the test. Is there any chance I can issue Ranorex commands (Finds/Clicks) from the test running machine to the application machine?

Hi,

I'm afraid, there is no such option in Ranorex. If you don't want to install Ranorex Studio on the target (app) machine, you can (manually) deploy and run just the test itself, of course, with all required runtime libraries. For more details check this user guide chapter:
https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/ran ... execution/
Eventually, you can use Ranorex remote execution, which will do it all for you...

However, both options will deploy and run the test on target machine. There is no way around this.
