    Hi,

     

    There is no problem with automation of both your scenarios if you have Desktop and Web module licenses for TestComplete.

    Just record a short test for both scenarios to get an overall idea how the code will look like in TestComplete. Then modularize and parameterize it as needed. The primary thing that you will need to pay attention to is:

    -- To wait until the browser is started after clicking menu command in desktop application and wait until it loads web page; and

    -- Wait until desktop application is started and becomes ready to process user input when a button is clicked on web page.

    Thank you so much. I will try to implement it in my current project as one of the TC. Yes we do have license version of Test Complete. I will get back again if I face any issues
