As an example of what would be truly useful for programmers and indispensable to properly integrate your product into any other software out there, I wish I had a managed object oriented library that could open up a test suite, manipulate ANY of its multiple aspects (project properties, variables, actual results data, not a HTML rendition of it, breakpoints, everything else...) then start up testcomplete or testexecute through COM without loading any UI crap that makes it consume half the memory on the VM (like in current state of affairs where you just hide the main window; the only thing that saves you is paint events...). The interop should be talking directly to the test engine, not to the UI as it is doing now. Expose everything in a nice class hierarchy, with collections and events where appropriate. If I had that, I could integrate TC into anything. Heck I could design my own IDE around it. It solves both our problems and makes anyone who wants to integrate testcomplete into anything happy forever after.
