A prompt: Could u please show figure next to the folders?

On project panel, can you add figure which shows the amount of the automated cases next to all the folders? Because I can know how many cases I have automated easily. For now, I have to count the nu...

    The number may display the number of the routines in the script unit, for instance.

     

    As for me, this sounds like a useful feature request.

    Number of routines per script unit is displayed in the Code Explorer already.

     

     

    I understand what SlowDaniel would like to see... a count of how many items are contained in each folder.  That would probably be useful so long as it is understood that the count does not reflect # of test cases.  A keyword test != a test case... sometimes a keyword test is a repeatable piece of code that is used by multiple keyword tests.  So, the count on each folder should be displayed, simply, as the count of items within that folder.

Hi,

No, this is not possible.

      Thank u! That's what I refer to. I am recording automation testing scripts only for Keyword part in recent stage. Even if "that always not one routine responses to one test case", but I should know the count of the cases I created within every folder on Keyword sector as well. So if there is the count displayed nearby folders, that's great. :smileyvery-happy:

    I said that it is not possible now to add any custom data to the tree elements of the Project Explorer.

    Feature requests can be posted at http://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Feature-Requests/idb-p/TestXCompleteFeatureRequests

    Though I would recommend to thoroughly consider possible implementation as far not always one test routine corresponds to one test case. So, the better request and possible implementation are described the higher the chances to get votes and get the request to be considered for the implementation.

      I agree, but this can be easily solved by placing test cases into specific routines where ONLY test cases are stored, while keeping common code in the other units.
