TestComplete Keyword Order Execution
Please confirm: Is keyword testing required to follow a strict sequential order, or can we execute keywords non-sequentially? For context, our webpage has fields distributed across various containers...

Champion Level 3In TestComplete, Keyword Tests define the steps or actions to perform, while the Execution Plan controls the order in which those Keyword Tests are run. Keyword Tests do not have to follow a fixed sequence and can be executed in any order through the Execution Plan, regardless of the page layout or when the tests were created. Only the steps inside an individual Keyword Test run sequentially, from top to bottom.
I recorded that the keyword testing starts from the top then the bottom then the center and they are executed. But the test gets completely confused exit from its execution.

If it's not working based on the actions you recorded, then it's most likely due to duplicate Name Mapping entries, which can cause playback to stop midway.
If this is your first time using TestComplete, I strongly suggest reading up on Object Identification, as it's one of the most important concepts in TestComplete. Once you understand the basics, things start to come together.
