QAComplete Feature Requests

We have the option to inactivate Releases and Test Cases, why not provide that capability for Requirements?   ... View more

We are not used to use the am/pm notation and I keep getting confused if my scheduled tests will be run in the morning, or afternoon. So I would like to have an option that the 24 hour notation is used everywhere. ... View more

I would like a report similar to the 'Test Coverage Run by Test Set' however, I would like the report to display only the last result.   So, if I have a release with multiple builds this report currently consolidates all results.  For example, if the release has 2 builds:  -          The first build might result in 10 Passes and 10 Fails -          The second build might result in 10 passes – we may or may not re-run the already passed tests.   In this scenario the report for the release will display a total of 20 passes and 10 fails – I would like it to show just the last recorded status – irrespective of the build it was run in.   ...

I would like to be able to select an option in QA Complete for it to assign test runs to the next available host from my pool of test hosts rather than limiting test runs to one specific host, this is not an efficient use of resources. ... View more

Dont make the 'Time Out' value mandatory in the 'Add Automation' window. I have tests that vary widely in the time they take to run, it is not possible to pick a magic value that works for all tests. Also, I have  wait and auto timeout settings configured in Test Complete which are more than adequate for quitting a test if it doesnt repsond after a certain amount of time. This setting at best seems pointless, at worst is seems to be duplicating functionality that is already in Test Complete. ... View more

Many of our tests have more than six lines per step.  We can't see these in the Step frame of the right panel of the Test Runner without scrolling, which is annoying.  It's more important to us to see everything in the Step frame than see what's in the Expected and Actual Results panels.  It's not practical for us to hover over the step in the left nav because sometimes we have to copy/paste text from the Step box. Also, the lines in the test step were entered single-spaced in the Test Editor and the Test Runner shows it as double-spaced.   I suggest that you change this panel to allow the user to pull down the line in the center of the frame to act as dynamic resizing of the top of the frame that contains the Step box.  This will let the user see more in the Step box and less of the Expected and Actual Results boxes, or the reverse if they choose. ...

Linking requirements to tests is a time-consuming task - there is no quick and easy way to do it. It would be great if you could include the path/name of the requirement(s) a test should be linked to in the CSV file that is used to upload tests into QA Complete.  The prerequisite would be that the requirements are loaded prior to loading the tests. ...

With our project, we have a very dynamic system. That being said in order to simulate proper users with realistic fields, we have to build around 50 + users to manually and automate test. QAComplete does not offer a way for us to utilize a single test case, lets say for the example of Logging into a system with username and password.  The username and password can be tokenized however, it is tokenized once. We want a method in which we can define the parameters in a test case from a test set.  The test set will simulate User1s experiance but it will constantly use the test case for logging in.  Perhaps testcomplete offers something like this?  We essentially want to treat specific test cases like functions with parameters ...

It would help us cut down on duplication if we could link to an item in another project. ... View more

Can you please reduce the SmartBear Banner at the top of the page. This will enable us to see more of what we have purchased the product for..   Can you also reduce the of the Customer Company logo box (bottom left hand corner). It's nice to have our logo on screen but if we can configure the size of the box or turn it off it makes the product more usabale.   Thanx ... View more

QAC has predetermined required fields; denoted (Required).  These cannot be made optional.  While I understand the intetion behind this, I do not wish Work Phone to be a (Required) field when creating a user.     ... View more

There are so many different screens and buttons and choices when entering a Test Set Suite or a Test Case or a Test Step it can be confusing on where you are at times.   add a new step, I select the test and go to steps.  The button only says Edit Steps and after you select it, only then do you get an option to add a step.  Would be nice if the button said Add/Edit steps like it does when it says Add/Edit Tests. when in a screen, when what user is doing is displayed at the very top left of the screen, would be nice if it were a bit more visible ...

Color Code alert on all Linked Items when there is a change in existing Requirements has been created and assigned with a Standard priority. We will respond to you as soon as possible. [Case - 00140954]   Most of the time Business Analysts modify requirements or add additional Information to the requirements. It would be really nice to have a feature which would highlight the change and affected Items for user and Project benefit.     Recomendation - highlight all those linked Items with a "YELLOW" color so that all related Users, once logged into QAComplete, can see and acknowledge the change ...

It would be a really good feature to have an abiltiy to link an existing active defect that causing the test to fail during the Test Execution from the Test Set. Currently all we can see is "Auto Create Defect" window. This would be really helpful in failing test case and continue to excute the restof the test cases from test set by simply adding an existing defect to it     ... View more

In the Test Library, I can display all tests linked to a release or not linked to a release by using a filter. This is not intuitive to many of our testers. To be consistent with the other entities in the system, it would be helpful to have a Releases tab in the navigation pane on the left before the Folders tab as is the case for Test Sets. ...

Why is it that there still is no mobile app for ALM or qacomplete? It's a shame, because most competitors do have it and it can become a breaking point for us. ... View more

While working with TestComplete and I come a crossed issue, I have no problem getting answers from the community. From people like @tristaanogre However, with QAComplete I sometime have to wait weeks in order to get any response. I would like to see some dedicated paid QAComplete members help out the forms on a more regular basis. We are all in software development, so we all have deadlines. I am new to smart bear products and most of my issue are blocking me from continuing. Thus pushing back deadlines. I would like more support in the forums, if that means paying someone, then I'd find that extremely beneficial ... View more

Currently when using tokens during the test run a person cannot tell what are the token values and what aren't.  It would be useful to have token values visually identified in some way in the test step during a test run.  They could be bolded, highlighted, underlined, different color font, or somthing.   ...

Recommending that the reporting feature within QA Complete be updated with more flexibility and user friendliness.  One thing our QA team does for reporting is generate test metrics reports which list the Test Set Name or Test Name, the # of Tests (not runs), # passed, # failed, # blocked.  While we understand the logic behind displaying the values off the # of runs for the tests for reporting purposes, our customers and project teams do not want to know that we executed a test set 3 times and it failed twice.  They want to know the # of total tests (baseline #), # passed, # failed, # blocked and not based off of execution.  They do not want to see that we ran Test A, itertion #30, 6 times.   For example, if Test Set A has 5 tests but with tokenization has 300 test iterations the report needs to display 5 tests for this Test Set and note the # failed, # passed, # blocked.  Right now the canned reports in QA Complete are displaying this based on the tokenization iterations which is too detailed.  We have spent hours working with these reports but with reporting being built around Crystal Reports this limits our ability to build the report we need.  ...
