    The only thing within TestComplete is the indicator that, on the machine that is running the tests, displays on the screen and shows messages based upon what is being executed.  It does not necessarily show what keyword test is executing and what line number.  Those CAN be added manually by utilizing the Indicator object within your automation.

     

    Keep in mind: TestComplete is a tool for creating and executing the tests.  What you're looking for is test management which gives a dashboard to indicate what test is executing.  SmartBear has QAComplete for this... and TestComplete can integrate with Jira and other tools.

Thanks for the Information, this will be helpful to get some overview. 

I am concerned, if the Indicator is always in the front, will it cover Objects, like buttons?

 

Oh and by the way, do you have advice for best practice using the indicator in this manner or some stupid problems which are avoidable?
