Minimizing Virtual Machine while Ranorex tests are running
Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2016 12:11 am
Hello all,
I have been searching through threads and blogs but have not been able to find a definitive answer. At this point, I have a feeling that what I am trying to propose/do is not possible but I think I'll pose this question to see if I get any suggestions or further thoughts on the topic.
Machine: Hyper-V VM running Windows 10 Pro
Testing application: Installed software in the VM
Ranorex: Installed in the VM, version 6.1.1
Question:
I have the VM set up with the software we are testing installed onto the OS running in the VM. Ranorex is also installed onto the OS running in the VM. Ranorex tests run perfectly fine in the VM and the tests are passing. However, since the VM is being run on my local machine I was wondering if there is a way for me to minimize/lose focus of the VM's window/display so that I can work on other things, or perhaps, have multiple VMs running on the same computer, all running their own set of Ranorex tests.
In short... 1 physical machine, 3-4 VM's each with their own OS's and Ranorex installed on each of them, each VM has own instance of Ranorex running tests on software being tested.
Thank you
