Is TestComplete ready for Windows 8.1 Metro Apps?

Hello 

Android support will work with actual devices (wired via USB) and Android virtual machines. No emu-/simulators at this point (but we will look at that in the future).



If you want to get on the Beta list, please email me directly

Beta includes Android and Modern UI (referring to the beginning of the thread)



Best,

Sergei

Thank you for your response.



that is too bad you are unable to provide a timeline. I am currently using TestComplete and love it and would hate to replace it by another tool that supports at least android apps.

Hi Enrique

Both Android support and Modern UI support on Windows 8.1 will be released by end of the year.

We are not considering MACOS yet (but certainly have thought about it) but the same release will include Beta for iOS testing, from Windows.

Beta for Android and Modern UI will be available mid-Novmeber.



If you have more questions, please feel free to email me directly:

Ha Sargei,



It is good to know testcomplete will be have the support for windows metro. I look forward to the beta when this comes out.

Sergei, just a quick question, the android support, how will it work?

Running on an emulator inside testcomplete or we'll be able to access applications running inside eclipse emulator?

By the very slow rate of adoption of Windows 8, I doubt very much end of the year would be too late. Metro will attract some hipsters, sure, but the vast majority of developers will not want to have to rewrite their entire app against a new framework AND be forced to use the MS AppStore as the sole means of distribution.



Microsoft should have left "being Apple" to Apple.

Hi,

Any update on windows 8.1 Metro App Support
