time oriented tests

[mander95]

Every morning, there is a new build to our software that is made and placed in a specified folder. Typically around 2 or 3 in the morning. Is there a way to set ranorex to run a test on the software at a specified time (4 am for example) without me being in the office?

Hi,

Probably the easiest way to achieve what you want is using Windows scheduler. A much more sophisticated, configurable and reliable option is some kind of continuous integration system, e.g. Jenkins. In both cases, you will have to use your test from command line. Please follow the appropriate chapter in Ranorex user guide.

Yeah, Jenkins is the best way to do it. I use it to run my primary nightly regression tests at 3am every day. But I can also use it to run unscheduled tests during the work day in case we have a need. I can also hook it to the developer's TeamCity project and have TC request a run whenever they deploy to our test environment.

But, you can use Task Scheduler as well, if you don't want to setup Jenkins, or if you want to get something running while you get Jenkins set up.

Note: Jenkins is free, but you can do the same thing with TeamCity, Bamboo, or most other Continuous Integration systems.

is there a tutorial on integrating ranorex with Jenkins?

I would suggest reading the User Guide (completely, if you haven't) here: http://www.ranorex.com/support/user-gui ... ation.html

If you still have questions about it that, ask away.
