TestComplete for testing single-page javascript apps for non-programmers

We are currently using Selenium driver for creating tests for our single-page HTML/javascript application (think GMail). The problem is that Selenium Recorder is not smart enough to create test suites for javascript apps. Programmers need to insert waits by hand (waiting for text to appear, waiting for element to disappear, etc)



- Does TestComplete has extra brains when recording tests for javascript apps?

- Could you post a link to a docs or a video that shows that?



Thank you



Alex

    Do you have anything more substantial? Like a



    - Demo project that tests GMail or Google Docs

    - Test recorder (where I click around website and get a TestComplete project)



    I am trying to pick between Selenium and TestComplete, so if one small HTML page is all you have to offer, then I don't see how TestComplete can help me at all.



    Am I missing something?

    Hi Alex,

    There are some very good webinars available on smartbear's website for testing websites.



    Coming back to your question:

    There are some very innovative features provided while recording tests:

    1) Converting keyword tests to test scripts.

    2) Creating data-driven tests

    3) Creating different types of checkpoints

    4) Passing parameters to test

    5) Creating custom operations



    I can go on and on ......



    I found some intresting stuff on other websites that i would like to share with you.

    Of course , it is your choice, which tool best suits your requirement  (considering the manpower , type of work to be performed etc. )



    I hope this has been of some help.
