If you were executing the test manually would you have to click Ok or do some other action to accept the soft certificate? That's what TestComplete will do just as soon as you teach it what you want.
TestComplete doesn't have any security requirements on its own. If you can click through and sign on (or whatever it takes to get through to the AUT), then you can have TestComplete do it.
Would LoadComplete then use the automated script generated by TestComplete? To include tackling any pseudo-random security pop-ups requested of the user to select a soft certificate to use while in the middle of running a suite of tests?
In our project's case, it has a light requirement to have a threshold of eight (8) simultaneous users logging into and conducting user activities. The project doesn't have an Objective number of users, yet.
Hi,
> Would LoadComplete then use the automated script generated by TestComplete?
LoadComplete does not use any scripting and the integration mentioned by Marsha actually works vise-versa: LoadComplete records traffic that is generated by the tested application driven by TestComplete. The recorded traffic can be parameterized than in LoadComplete and used for the load test from within LoadComplete without any need for TestComplete.
So, what LoadComplete actually does, is that it records the traffic from your tested application and replays (parameterized) recorded traffic to load tested web server.
LoadComplete supports certificate authentication (https://support.smartbear.com/loadcomplete/docs/general-info/supported/authentication.html) but I did not work with it and Not sure if it is possible to have more than one certificate on the same test box and specify which one should be used during the test for this or that virtual user.
Your question seems to be quite specific and I would recommend to create a Support ticket via the https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=LoadComplete form.
I would appreciate it if you update this thread (or create a new one in the LoadComplete section (https://community.smartbear.com/t5/LoadComplete/bd-p/LoadComplete)) with the information obtained from Support.
Thank you, Alex. On your recommendation, I submitted a Support Request to find out "...if it is possible to have more than one (soft) certificate on the same test box and specify which one should be used during the test for this or that virtual user". I'll update LoadComplete's community forum once I receive a satisfactory response.

I wouldn't use the word "generated" but yes, TC and LC can work together.

There are settings for handling unexpected windows. If you know where the pop-up is likely to occur, you can also use your code to handle it.
In our project's case, it has a light requirement to have up to eight (8) simultaneous users logging into and conducting user activities.
The number of virtual users you can have depends on your LC license:
