Using the TestComplete API
Good afternoon,
I am creating .NET application that while using the TestComplete API should start an instance of TestComplete in a specific Project Suite, and run specific tests in a specific project. For example, I want to:
- Create a new instance of TestComplete and open it as a background process
- Open TestSuite1
- Open TestProject3
- See a list of Test Items
- Activate/Deactivate specific Test Items in the said list
- Run updated TestProject3
- Write test success or failure to the test log
- if test fails, log test item in which the test failed
- Continue to the next text
- Close TestProject3
- Close TestSuite1
- Dispose of TestComplete instance
For step 1-2, I used the examples given in the API documentation:
Dim TestCompleteObject as TestComplete.TestCompleteApplication = Nothing
Try
TestCompleteObject = CType(Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject(TCProgID), TestCompleteApplication)
Catch
Try
TestCompleteObject = CType(Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID(TCProgID)), TestCompleteApplication
Catch
End Try
End Try
If (TestCompleteObject Is Nothing) Then Exit Sub
IntegrationObject.OpenProjectSuite("TestSuite1")
If Not IntegrationObject.IsProjectSuiteOpened Then
Messagebox.Show("Could not open the project suite.")
CloseTestComplete()
End If
All of the other steps that I have been trying to complete consist of using TestComplete.Itc....... but it has been a system of trial and error. The online API documentation does not seem to cover these in a manner that I can find with ease.
I have been able to run Projects, but for them to run the project must have Test Items enabled in Test Complete. I want to be able to control what gets run regardless of what test items are enabled.
Has anyone out there had any experience in managing the enabled property of Test Items of a Project? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information, please let me know. Thank you!
