TestComplete and Selenium
Does anybody have suggestions or thoughts on using TestComplete along side Selenium?
I perform a lot of testing in Desktop and WEB at the same time. Much of our our testing involves performing actions in a Desktop environment and then verifying the changes are also in the WEB environment. For example:
- Add customer in Desktop app
- Verify customer displays in WEB app
- Update customer information in WEB app
- Verify changes now show in Desktop app
This jumping back and forth between Desktop and WEB is a primary reason we use TestComplete since it supports both environments.
That being said, I plan to research what it would take to convert all of the WEB testing to Selenium. The challenge would be figuring out how to run tests that need to jump between TestComplete and Selenium. I would need to pass data between the two test environments which I would probably do using some type of temp file on the PC. I have no clue how I would run tests in a debug mode.
Also, I am not necessarily wanting to use the TestComplete method of calling Selenium tests which is dependent on using a framework with Selenium. I would probably create our own custom framework in Selenium.
Anyways, just curious if anybody has thoughts and suggestions on this.
