Automation Test flow execution between desktop, mobile, web and soap in TC

Hi Christian,

If I got your question right: you are wondering if it is possible to do something in one (desktop) application and then do something else in another (mobile) application within the same (end-to-end) test, aren't you?

If my understanding is correct, then this is definitely possible in TestComplete, can be done even on the same test box and does not require any special setup.

Sample pseudocode test skeleton:

var desktopApp = TestedApps.DesktopApp.Run();

var mobileApp = TestedApps.MobileApp.Run();

Browsers.Item(btFirefox).Run('http://www.example.com/testedPage);

var webPage = Sys.Browser('firefox').Page('*tested page*');

desktopApp.mainMenu.Button('Create Demo Order').Click();

mobileApp.Layout('').List.Item('Create Demo Order').Button('Approve').Click();

webPage.Keys('[F5]');

webPage.Wait();

VerifyOrderSigned(webPage.ordersTable);

...

The selection of "Generic Windows Application" in the project creation wizard does not lock you into only testing those kinds of applications.  That step in the wizard simply determines what components are added to the test project by default.  

So... short answer, yes, you can use Generic Windows Application
