<p>Have you tried looking via RDP what's going on during the tests:
<a href="http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker">http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker</a>?</p>
<p>Many customers use AppVeyor for their UI tests and Hyper-V VMs
(used on Pro environment) have been really good for that.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/401586342016-06-21T16:07:30Z2016-06-21T16:07:31ZSlow builds due to UI tests<div><p>We’re just having problems with some css3 animations with
our Selenium/Coypu tests, They seem to run really slow.</p>
<p>We’re already on a Pro account and that doesn’t seem
to make any difference, Is there any other instance we can try that
has more graphical computations?</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Kev</p></div>Kevin Smithtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/401586342016-06-21T16:54:33Z2016-06-21T16:54:33ZSlow builds due to UI tests<div><p>You can try running those builds on a different environment
based on Google Compute Engine (GCE). Their VMs have slightly
different architecture, I'm not sure about graphical adapter
though.</p>
<p>I've added a new <code>Visual Studio 2015 - GCE</code> build
worker image under your account that selectively allows you running
builds on GCE environment. If you use <code>appveyor.yml</code>
then specify it as:</p>
<pre>
<code>image: Visual Studio 2015 - GCE</code>
</pre>
<p>otherwise select that image it on Environment tab of project
settings.</p></div>Feodor Fitsner
