Standalone Telerik Automation Script

[Eric]

Using the Test Studio is there a way to create a standalone executable or script that I could send it to other testers, who can then just click on the file to execute the tests and get the results or will I have to program it using the API, or would have to run all the tests using "Test Studio"/"VS Plugin" I look forward to your response.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,

Using the API it's possible to create an executable. However before another person on another computer would be able to run your executable they would first have to install the Telerik Testing Framework. Then the DLL's your executable relies upon, plus the required browser extensions would be installed. Otherwise your executable would fail miserably, first being unable to find the dependent DLL's, then for lack of being able to control the browsers.

So in the end, since the other person has to install something anyway, you might as well just send them the test and have them use our command line runner to run the test script.
