Run test cases in multiple environments for desktop application

Hi,

The second solution is to:

1) Run Your project with cmd and pass a variable with 'testedApp name'

2) Read cmd variables inside Your's scripts using TestComplete BuiltIn object

3) Pass these values into Project variables

4) Compare these values with the object inside Your unit file:

var obj = {

   'trunk' : {

          'testedAppName': 'pathToApp'

      }

}

5) set this app in TestedApps.positionName.Path

Hi,

Since people have already given you the idea of using a data/environment file and you want to handle test items as well. You can look into jenkins for this particular task.  TC has very good integration with it.

You can use choice parameter (or a number of other plugins) to select environemnt and test items to run for every indiviual run.  

One possible way is the following.

1 - Make a file with the list of the environment path

2 - Load this file

function loadData() {

   // Read your file, even a single text file if you want and put the

  // list of path in an array ListOfPath

}

3 - Make a function which call all tests cases and which llop with them with the value of environment path that you iterate

function doTests() {

  for (let i=0;i<ListOfPath.length;i++) {

    currentPath = ListOfPath[i];

    myTestNumberOne();

    myTestNumberTwo();

    // and so on...

  }

}

If the pathes are fixed for a while, use a table in the Store of TC instead of an external file.

External file is good if you often change.
