While recording a test, we input values into one or more fields of a form under test. Currently TestComplete "hard codes" these as constant values in the test steps. even when we create a script out of these steps, the constant values go in there. In order to make the script work for generic test data, testers have to manually create variables and assign the values, which takes as much time as there are input fields.
In order to reduce the cycle time from recording to replay with any test data, it is suggested that:
- For all input fields that the user enters some value during recording of a test, TestComplete has to create as many variables automatically
- Assign the default values to these variables with the values supplied / keyed-in by testers during test recording.
This feature can be made available as one of the project / tool options.
