I am executing the coded UI test with a bat file, you can simply copy the CUIT test .dll file to your application and call it by a bat file to execute. Even you can use Test Agents to run the Code UI Test from different machines, where you don't have Visual Studio.

Run All Test methods from DLL :

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe" /testcontainer:"DLL_Location\CUIT_03.dll" /resultsfile:"ResultFile_Location\result.trx"

Run Single Test Method From DLL:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe" /testcontainer:"DLL_Location\CUIT_03.dll" /test:"TestMethodName" /resultsfile:"ResultFile_Location\result.trx"
