TestComplete Feature Requests

Lee_M · ‎04-14-2021

I am running a KW test and have created a property checkpoint The checkpoint compares on- screen-text to a text field in a variable (in my case, a csv, from a DDT) I have run into and issue where either of the text contains a space at the beginning or end of the string You can handle this by adding an "aqString.Trim" to each condition but you have to convert them to code which is called differently and can bring up all sorts of errors It would be nice to have this feature in the loop as another dropdown menu "trim input before comparison"

It would be useful to be able to compare objects in the object spy, and display/highlight differences between them. This would be useful for capturing an object's state before and after something about it changes (e.g. its colour or enabled state) then we can compare what changed, to find the property that changed.

It would be useful to be able to pop all folders at once and reset the default Log folder to whatever it is at the start of a test, similar to the Indicator.Clear() function but for Log folders.

I would like a couple more options on the event handler I would like "on Project Start" to run a script to initialize variables - I don't need to run this at the start of every project

Currently when you stop a test during execution, TestComplete generates the log. While doing this, the window focus is taken multiple times, preventing you from working with other programs, during log generation. This is especially frustrating, when you debug an error, where you have to stop testing over and over again. So my suggestion is to make the log generation a background process without taking window focus. As you can see in the attached video, as I stopped the test, I tried to open Notepad++, but TestComplete took the window focus back several times.

When you rename a variable in the project / project suite / keyword test etc give you the option to amend the name of the variables where they are used in keyword tests just like you do when you rename a NameMapping item.

Hi, As we need to send the test report to the stakeholders, we need to consolidate the test results by parsing the xml output or we need to write customized functions to get the results. Instead, if you provide the option to send the test summary as an attachment to the body (attached the screenshot), it will reduce a lot of coding effort and we can provide effective reporting along with logs. Please check the attached screenshot.

Hi, I am automating installation and uninstallation of a set of tools in Windows environment. For that, PC needs to be rebooted after install/uninstall of each tool and continue test execution for the remaining tools. The tests are added to the execution plan for better organization and requirement mapping purposes. However, after referring TestComplete help, I realized that reboot and continue is not possible from execution plan. We very much want to organize and execute tests using the project execution plan and be able to reboot and continue as well. Appreciate any help in this regard.

This would activate a break in the test whenever an on-screen action is performed on mapped element.

It would be nice if you can copy the complete name mapping path from the namemapping from the Mapping Abjects or Aliases screens I am investigating NameMapping, I have one screen open with the name mapping and one screen with my script You have Mapped objects and you can easily create an Alias by dragging. It would be nice if you can right-click the desired map (in Maps or Aliases) and copy the path for pasting into your script this could even be drag and drop into your script i.e. NameMapping.Sys.notepad.dlgSaveAs.DUIViewWndClassName.Explorer_Pane.CtrlNotifySink.ShellView.Items_View.test_complete_test_notepad_save_txt.Name being able to copy this complete String WITHOUT having to highlight it all - will make the system a little more intuitive

Please expand Extended Properties to include CSS Selector (if available). I use CSS Selectors 99% of the time to identify web controls for TC. Sometimes overlaying web controls make it difficult to determine the exact control needed for inserting text, finding text, Child Count, etc. Being able to inspect the properties desired and having the CSS information on the same screen would prevent guesswork with 100% accuracy in copying the Selector and promote speed in coding... at least for me.

Here I have faced some trouble with execution plan item. I have multiple projects in my suite. So, opening the multiple execution plans troubling to select the specific one. Also, it is not editable. Here a suggestion to add the project name in the Execution Plan item (Like: "Execution Plan_Test", where "Test" is the project name in the suite.) by default, also, make it editable as well. So it become more clear to user se select the specific one. @anupamchampati @AlexKaras @Marsha_R @hkim5

I need to have a TestComplete feature that I can search and see all tests with particular Tag name/value. We plan to Tag our keyword tests with multiple Tags, and to create test groups based on Tags (then run those groups using CI/CD). However there is no way (to our knowledge) in TestComplete how to find all the existing tests with particular Tag value (e.g. tests with tag value "smoke") so we can manage that. Without such a tag groups management, the use of tag feature is cumbersome for us.

Dark theme IDE like Visual Studio / Eclipse / Netbeans would be awesome.

niveditaminca · ‎11-03-2020

Right now we have device cloud add on for the testexecute and not for testcomplete license. So currently we can run the tests on CBT using testexceute. Since the testcomplete does not have device cloud add on I do not have access to the "Run Remote browser" item that makes it difficult to have access to configurations that I can test with when writing the tests. It would be of great help if this item is available even if testcomplete device cloud add on is not available with the testcomplete license.

Hi, When a Name Mapping item name is changed, it would be great to have all related NameMapping, Aliases updated accordingly through out the code. For example: A Name Mapping Aliases.MainWindows.NavigationWindow.OkButton is renamed to Aliases.MainWindows.NavigationPanel.OkButton would update all references of the old Aliases path to the new one. Thanks Simoin Glet

In large TestComplete project, it would be extremely handy to be able to Collapse/Expand (All and Group) in KeywordTests script. Same as implemented in Project Explorer, NameMapping, Script Editor, and Logs.

william_roe · ‎06-17-2015

In our trial and error approach to learning TC we have found ourselves with excess baggage (unused mapped objects and Aliases) which we wish to clean up. At some point we disabled 'Map object names automatically' and have a mix of tests using Mapped and Aliased object. The ability to removed mapped objects and aliases which are used in keyword and script tests would be highly benificial. Here isa thread which discusses in further detail. Thanks for your consideration.

Currently, once the tests are executed in TestComplete, we can export the results and the summary into MHT format but not in Excel. Getting the results in Excel is a basic need in most projects where you have to report the results based on the number of tests run including the Passed and the Failed tests. If not Excel, at least a CSV format should be good to start with.

Here is the feature request. In the situation of lockdown and companies provided the work from home to employees, Does Smartbear product supports the checkout of the Floating License for a period of the time as Node-Locked License. For Example, If anyone having 4 seats of a floating license and one of the employee got the work from home and he having a problem connecting to the server. So in this time employee can check out the one license for a few days (7 days). Now for the next 7 days, only 3 floating seats will be available to use, and the remaining one license will be used as a Node-Locked license. And After 7 days the checked-out license will expire and in order to retrieve the floating license seat employee needs to return the checked-out license. Also In order to the checkout license, there should not be a code to avail of this feature. The employee needs to connect the license server strictly and here the employee needs to enter the days to check out the license.
