If a Keyword test is the only way I can use it to test my Application,. how can I make sure I have the correct Window Objects position or set the Windows OBject position for another workstation that is accessing my GUI App and TC..

 

 

What do you mean by "write test" and "KDT"?

    KDT is TestComplete's shorthand for keyword test.

     

    Keyword tests do not have to depend on the object's position.  If you record the keyword test, then the position will be used, but you can either change it in the recorded code to the object name or write a similar test from scratch.  The object names can be found in the Name Mapping or by using Object Spy.

    Object not found messages usually mean that TestComplete can't see the object being referred to in the current test.  Maybe the correct window isn't open on the screen.

      Thanks for the reply. That helped alot. I trying to get TextExecute to work. Baically in testexecute you cannot create testcomplete tests, but you can run them. It looks like it is running in the background.

       

      How do I call it to run a certain test in a specified directory on the server?

       

      Thank you
