Start with a new Windows c# Application in TestComplete

Hi, 

I am new to test complete and used it for a 2/3 months now but I never got the chance to start a new project from scratch.

 

If I was giving a .msi or .exe App, how do I start testing it ? What should I create first ? How do I get my UI objects ? Can I map them all at first ? When to handle the Start, stop and on error events ? 

 

A step by step guidance, would be nice.

 

I worked in a environment where those already setup, so I just go ahead and used some codind/functions.

    Ans - Yes you can add .exe App. in TestComplete TestedApp (right click on project - Add - New Item - Tested Application select from open dialog box - One window will open at right site. Right click in window - select add application - Specify app details. )

    Ans - Create Project Suite and Project -This link may help you for adding project suite and Project -  http://theitqc.blogspot.in/2013_12_01_archive.html

     

    Que 3 Can I map them all at first ?

    Ans - Its depend on your need (in Keyword test - all object maped automaticaly or in script test you have to map or u can use dicriptive programming too)
