Running the same test across multiple applications
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2015 11:43 pm
Hey everyone.
I've recently been attempting to automate a process that is quite laborious. I'm attempting to enter data into a system that I don't have database access to, and must therefore enter the information through the UI. I am also only able to access the application through a remote desktop connection, such as Remote Desktop, Remote App, and Teamviewer.
All of the automation works fine in my test environment, but I am stuck at this last main hurdle - is there a way for me to run the same tests (which are linked to the "Remote Desktop" Windows application) across multiple applications? Ultimately, the application that I am testing through this Remote Desktop connection is the same every time, but how I am accessing it can vary.
To be more verbose, my tests need to access an application from various machines and through differing Remote Desktop clients, such as Teamviewer, Remote Desktop, and Microsoft's RemoteApp framework. However, I want to achieve this with one set of tests, as the application that is being accesses is always the same. Currently, the only Repo item is listed as a form that points to a Remote Desktop connected to a specific IP.
I know my way around C# quite well, so if there is a programmatic approach, I am able to implement it. The tests are also being run through a C# application (currently WinForms).
Any help is appreciated.
