TestComplete support for Delphi 13 desktop application with DevExpress VCL 25.2 or newer

Hello,

We are evaluating TestComplete for automated GUI testing of a Windows desktop application developed in Delphi.

Our application stack is:

  • Delphi 13 / RAD Studio 13
  • VCL desktop application
  • DevExpress VCL components version 25.2 or newer
  • Main controls used in the application include TcxGrid / QuantumGrid, TcxTreeList, TcxButton, TcxTextEdit, TcxComboBox, TdxRibbon and TdxBarManager

We would like to confirm whether TestComplete officially supports testing desktop applications built with Delphi 13 and DevExpress VCL 25.2 or newer. In the TestComplete documentation, we found information about extended support for Developer Express VCL controls, but the listed supported versions appear to go only up to DevExpress VCL 21.1.x.

    We are actively using TestComplete with the latest version of DevExpress VCL controls compiled on several of the latest versions of RAD Studio.
    It does the job very well for Delphi. I tried several tools, but my choice is TestComplete.
    We also use DevExpress VCL components, and everything is pretty straightforward. In hard cases, we use UIAutomation, but believe me, you will need it only in big black box controls (Bars, Grid, TreeList). I personally use it for NavBar, Gallery, TreeList - this is the first to come to mind.
