How to: Install the Required Software to Create a Video Recording Using Test Runner

  • Článek

Video recordings can help other team members isolate application defects that are difficult to reproduce. When you create test settings, you can include a diagnostic data adapter that will save a video recording of the desktop session during the test. You can save the video recording together with the test result or you can attach it to a bug.

To create a video recording using Test Runner on a specific computer, you must install Expression Encoder 4.0 software onto that computer. Use the following procedure to install this software.

Upozornění

The Expression Encoder 4.0-based video diagnostic data adapter replaces the previous Windows Media Encoder based video diagnostic data adapter. Windows Media Encoder-based video diagnostic adapter is no longer supported. If you have installed the new Expression Encoder 4.0-based video diagnostic data adapter and make new video links or video recordings and attach them to a work item bug in Microsoft Test Manager they will not function. To access them from a machine that has the Windows Media Encoder, you must install the update from the Knowledge Base article KB2160831.

To install Expression Encoder4.0 for any operating system

  1. To install the diagnostic data adapter, you must have Windows Installer 3.1 or later versions installed on the computer. You can download the latest version of Windows Installer at Windows Installer Redistributable.

  2. Install the Expression Encoder 4.0 based diagnostic and data adapter at Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Video Diagnostic Data Adapter.

    For more information, see Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Video Diagnostic Data Adapter.

  3. Download and install the Expression Encoder 4 following the instructions on the page.

  4. (Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2) If you are running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 as the operating system, you must install Desktop Experience using the Server Manager. For more information about this, see the following Microsoft Web site.
