give a warning when called-to test is about to be deleted

It has been my experience that we already get an exception if a keyword test is missing.  If I delete test1 and test2 tries to call it, the exception says that test1 is not found.

What you mean is that the exception is displayed at test execution time.

However, what I mean is that the warning message is displayed at test design time (so, before the test is executed).

Hope this is more clear now what I mean.

You said:

"keywordtest 2 calls keywordtest 1 (by using Run Keyword test command);
User deletes keywordtest 1 from projectexplorer.
Would be better if warning is displayed that keywordtest 1 is being used by keywordtest 2. "

I agree, we need this.

You also said:  

"And deleting test 1 would result in exception if keywordtest 2 is executed."

TestComplete already does this. 

Marsha_R see my previous comment. The request is to give the warning in test design phase (not in test execution phase).

I agreed with the test design message.  You also said "And deleting test 1 would result in exception if keywordtest 2 is executed."  which is at test execution time.  TestComplete already does this.

An alternative or extra option, would be to give display a message in which the user can choose to delete all calls (or disable) to the deleted keyword test.

In 12.5, there is some better logic in the "find declaration" that actually works on keyword tests.  So, before you do the deletion, make it SOP to check if it is used somewhere first.
