Opening other applications while executing testlist for WPF application

[Sreelakshmi]

Hi,

Query 1:

Is there a way to open other applications while executing testlist for a WPF application

Also is there a way to execute the testlist in background while we can work on other applications other then Telerik ?

Query 2:

Can we open other applications in the secondary monitor when we have multiple monitors connected(2Nos), while executing the testlist in Telerik Test Studio,

Hi Sreelakshmi,

The WPF test execution requires mouse and keyboard actions and thus the focus on the tested application. Therefore there is no option to open other apps on the same machine while a test is running. 

The best option I can recommend is to dedicate one more machine for test execution only. You can take advantage of the Test Studio scheduling setup and running test lists remotely. You can find complete step-by-step guide on setting this up in the following two blog posts:

I hope this information will be useful for you.
