Hi
We run our ranorex tests in a VM, whilst the tests are running we are not able to use the Mouse or the keyboard, is there any way of being able to carry on using the mouse and keyboard so that wecan be doing other things whilst the tests are running?
Thanks

Use Keyboard Mouse while test execution
Re: Use Keyboard Mouse while test execution
Hi,
This is a very bad idea. Messing with mouse/keyboard while the test is running will most likely cause the test to fail. You see, what you want is like if two users would like to use mouse and keyboard at the same time. I would suggest you to setup a VM just for tests and do whatever you want to do on another machine.

Re: Use Keyboard Mouse while test execution
Agree with odklizec. You should leave the test system's mouse and keyboard alone while the test is running. You could interfere with the test.
If you are running on a VM, then you should leave the VM alone and use another system if you need to get work done while a test is running.

Re: Use Keyboard Mouse while test execution
I agree with this suggestion. Many time we have take benfits to use keybord and mouse at the time of any kind of execution. So we have to countrol on the desices....
Re: Use Keyboard Mouse while test execution
Using the keyboard and mouse at the same time that Ranorex is attempting to use it will cause your test to fail. Ranorex (or any other functional UI automation tool) is not designed for multiple input use. This will not change.
Do not use the mouse and keyboard while a test is running unless you are prepared for test failures.
If you need to use your computer at the same time that you are running a test, then you should either build a new system for testing or run tests on a virtual machine.
