Does testcomplete support Flex and HTML for an desktop application?

Hi Nikhilesh,



If you mean a Flex-based AIR application when you say "desktop application", then the answer is: "Yes, you can test such applications with TestComplete". Please see the Testing Flex-Based AIR Applications help topic and the rest topics of the Testing AIR Applications section.



If you mean some kind of a desktop Windows application containing a WebBrowser control to which a web page with a Flex application is loaded and displayed at run time, the answer is: "Yes, you can perform functional testing of Flex contents in such applications, as well as test in-browser Flex applications running in Internet Explorer or Firefox". Please see the help topics of the Testing Flex Applications section.



If you mean a Flex application running in a stand-alone version of Flash Player (Projector), the answer is: "No, testing of such applications is currently not supported by TestComplete. However, if you are really interested in testing such applications, please let me know about that. We will then consider implementing such support in TestComplete".



If this is not what you mean, please clarify what you need to test.



As for HTML web pages, TestComplete allows you to perform functional testing of such pages. For more information on this, please see the topics of the Testing Web Applications section.

Hi



I have similar question: application under test is desktop application and for couple of screens uses Internet Explorer Server control (WebBrowser control) and displays html content. Is TestComplete able to work with such controls? 



I already tried and failed - test was recorded as black-box which is not acceptable for me. But this attempt was done with TestComplete Standart edition and I hope that Enterprise edition (with Web testing plugin) can handle that much better.

Hi Pavlo,



Yes, Web Testing plug-in is required for Flex testing as it is stated in the http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/16780/ help topic.Web Testing plug-in is provided with the Enterprise version of TC.
