Overview of this book

VMware ThinApp 4.7 is an application virtualization and portable application creator which allows users to package conventional applications so that they are portable. "VMware ThinApp 4.7 Essentials" shows you how to deploy ThinApp packages in order to improve the portability, manageability and compatibility of applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed. Application virtualization improves the portability, manageability and compatibility of applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed. VMware ThinApp 4.7 is an application virtualization and portable application creator which allows users to package conventional applications so that they are portable. ThinApp eliminates application conflicts, reducing the need and cost of recoding and regression testing. In this book you will learn about how application virtualization works and how to deploy ThinApp packages. You will learn how to update and tweak ThinApp Projects before distribution. This book will then cover design and implementation considerations for future ThinApp projects.

Your everyday capturing process


My suggestion, when it comes to how your everyday capturing process should look, is to not run all four test steps in the test procedure discussed in the Effective test procedures section. As most of your packages will run just fine, always running all the test steps is not needed. Your capturing process should support troubleshooting if needed but be as efficient as possible.

Your typical capturing process is as follows:

  1. Capture the application.

  2. Perform the Dirty Test.

    1. Running the Dirty Test will verify if the application can run virtualized at all.

    2. Investigate the sandbox (get to know the application).

    3. Delete the sandbox; this will show if any processes are being left behind running.

  3. If the previous steps are successful, do a snapshot of your virtual machine (you might need to return to it for performing the Washed Test).

  4. Conduct a Production environment Test.

    1. On failure, go back to the snapshot created in step 3 and run the Washed and Clean tests.
