How can i run automated selenium tests using TFS b

问题:

I have NUnit selenium tests that i have embedded into Unit test and i am trying to run this using TFS Build 2015. All the tests run perfectly fine locally but not from the TFS Server. I enabled code coverage and found out that "Module unittests.dll" works fine and most of the code is covered but for "Seleniumtest.exe" 0 lines covered.

I have read a lot on this problem and came across the idea of enabling the TFS Agent to run in interactive mode but i do not know how to do this from the TFS Server and most of the documentation online is not good enough.Thanks

If you're using the Hosted agent queue, you can't. If you have your own on-premise build agent, you just need to run the agent from a command prompt (as opposed to as a service). That's all that "interactive" means.

You can also use the Test Agent tasks to deploy a test agent to a target machine and invoke the tests on them. This will also allow you to run UI tests even if you're using the hosted agent queue -- you'll be passing off the running of the tests to an on-premise test agent.

On a side note, you should generally not run UI tests as part of a build process, but rather as a step in a release pipeline after the application has been released to a QA environment. UI tests are slow and brittle, and you don't want your CI process to be bogged down with running UI tests.
