Can we Build and run Test Studio in Jenkins CI deployed (.war) on a  server like tomcat?

Hi Omar,

I am not sure for all details of the setup you have established, so I will list the requirements, which Test Studio has in order to execute tests. 

• As a .Net application Test Studio can be only installed on Windows OS.
• If you intend to execute web functional tests on 'headed' browsers, Test Studio requires active user session on the execution machine. In terms of CI implementation, the agent tool needs to be running in interactive mode.
• If you can test the application in headless mode, you can skip the requirement for active desktop session and run the tests in Chrome headless. In terms of CI, the agent tool can run as a service in this setup.
• The minimum Test Studio installation required on the execution machine is Test Studio Run-time edition. 
• Here is a guide for setting up Jenkins CI to execute Test Studio tests.

I hope that this information will help you sort out any doubts. I remain available to continue this conversation in case you have any further questions.

Regards,
Elena
