Our QA team is using the TestComplete GUI testing software to test our web applications. TestComplete drives a Windows console session, effectively emulating mouse and keyboard, to test how a given browser responds to our code.
The problem that we've been having is that there is a password-protected screensaver installed on the Windows machine for security purposes. As a result, the test launches on a locked Windows VM, then hangs until timeout and fails. While we are working with the admins to get an exception there so that we don't have the screensaver, this may be difficult-this company has had decades of experience building medical devices with embedded software, but as a company we're still learning how to do web applications. I have also advised the QA team to start their test suites by using TestComplete to log into the VM console, then end them by logging out of it. It's unclear whether that will be possible. The Jenkins slave node is running on the Windows VM. Is there a Jenkins way, given the proper credentials, to log into the console or authenticate past the screensaver before launching a build?
