Hi Bhawani,
> 1. Do I need source code of the application to Qualify for Open applications testing? and test using object based?
Yes, you do. To make Java-based application open for TestComplete it must be recompiled with PatchServices.jar and some initialization as per
http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/56206/> 2. For image based - we can record and run the application both native and hybrid third party apps? how can we insert checkppoints or validate if we do not identify the objects?
Yes, any Android application can be tested using image-based approach. Basically, only image checkpoints are relevant for this case.
> 3. Can we automate or use multiple apps in single test? e.g: Interaction between apps.
Yes, this is possible. Try to record some actions against more than one tested application to see the code that testComplete will generate.
