Need SmartBear Consultant

Having trouble with TestComplete automated tests where object recognition keeps failing on our web application. Tests worked fine last month but now can't find buttons and text fields, causing all scripts to break.

The application hasn't changed much but TestComplete seems to be using old object properties that don't match anymore. Tried updating the name mapping but still getting object not found errors. Need someone who knows TestComplete object identification to help fix this.

Need about 2-3 hours of help to get the test scripts working again. Have to have automated testing running by Monday for our release cycle.

    Hi,

    sounds like your name mapping repository might be out of sync with the actual DOM properties , pretty common issue when TestComplete caches older object definitions.

    I have dealt with this exact problem before, usually involves refreshing the object spy mappings and adjusting the identification properties to use more stable attributes like data-testid or xpath instead of dynamic IDs.

    Could probably get your scripts running again in a couple hours by updating the recognition criteria and adding some wait conditions for those flaky elements.

    You can reach out to me on my email here
