I am not speaking on virtual machines,but Virtual desktops. Softwares like Desktops from microsoft provide functionality to create virtual screens and group windows onto th开发者_运维百科em.

Is is possible to use Automation software like QTP on some application in one desktop and have other programs run in other desktops ?

Will the automation run ? without hindering other desktops ?

Is there any other technique to do this ?

A co-worker had a look and it appears that QTP does work on virtual desktops, however when the virtual desktop isn't active it's like a minimized RDP session and steps that depend on device replay don't work (see my answer regarding RDP).

If you want to work on other things while running tests, the simple solution would be to run a virtual machine (some are free e.g. VirtualBox), machines nowadays are strong enough to power a VM and still work as usual on the physical machine.
