TL;DR: I want to be able to set some setting somewhere that tells TestComplete to only use the "data-testid" (or any other) attribute to map objects. What is a data-testid? We have the data-testid tag on every (important) element on our webpage. This testid is used to uniquely identify an object, meaning no other object on the webpage has this testid. For example like this: <fro-input-wrapper data-testid="CONFIG.COMMON.systemName">
<mat-form-field>
<wrapper>
<input>
</wrapper>
</mat-form-field>
</fro-input-wrapper> This is obviously a very simplified version, but this is how every object looks like. So every button, every text-input, etc has this attribute. What we currently do We map our objects using XPath, since it is so much faster at runtime to find the objects. So we have only one selector for every object, since we don't need more than that. So our XPath for finding the object shown before would look like that: //fro-input-wrapper[contains(@data-testid, 'CONFIG.COMMON.systemName')]//input The issue is, that when we use the TestComplete Object Spy and hover over the Object shown before, TestComplete searches out what it thinks is best suited for mapping the object. Which is totally random and does not conform to the way we want it (like shown above) The TestComplete Mapping looks something like that.... ... Which is just some random way to identify the object. So currently what I created is a Template for every object type (inputfield, slide-toggle, button, ...) that we just copy paste and paste in the correct data-testid. This is the most elegant solution that we found and it works sort of well. But I cant think that we are the only ones using some form of testid on our object. We are thinking about switching to Cypress, since it supports data-testid with a testing-libary, but the issue is that not everyone in our team is a coder and doesn't know how to code in JS. What we want A setting to define any attribute (in our case the data-testid) that TestComplete automatically uses to map the objects. I imagine it working something like that: Using the Object Spy to hover over an object that I want to map TestComplete searches for the data-testid attribute If it doesn't find one in exactly the Object that has been selected, it searches upwards in the DOM tree until it finds an object containing that data-testid attribute. It uses to object to map the original Object that was hovered over. I don't think that this would be too hard to implement and it would greatly improve our workflow., For any questions regarding the issue, please feel free to ask.

It would be nice to add a custom message to property checkpoints within a keyword test. This would be especially helpful when checking the objects or fields of primary object b/c in this case no screenshot is captured.

While the new sharing results options are quite handy, for an enterprise scenario the 2-week window is too less. An option for unlimited time would be needed. Please consider increasing the time limit duration. Also, the share option saves company information in the Smartbear server. We need an option that will save the log locally without the smartbear URL.

When you write code, sometimes you forget about its beauty - somewhere you missed the semicolon, somewhere the indentations are wrong or something else. But I really want the code to be beautiful. And when there are many people in the team with different experiences, their style of writing code is very different. And I really want everyone to be "on the same wave" and everyone wrote beautiful code in one common style! Prettier (https://prettier.io) handles this task best. It would be great if you could connect it to TestComplete. What do you think?

Please add QT 6 support. Our company has been using TestComplete for a decade for testing our QT application. We have been updating QT along the way and now need to to update QT 6 so we need to TestComplete to also update their support. We have thousands of man hours of work into our scripts at this point and having to switch to a different software would be a painful experience and would take likely years to get us back to where we are now. QT is a major player in Desktop Testing so I don't think they are going away anytime soon.

When I check logs, I always have to: enlarge the block with the screenshot to immediately see which elements are in action expand the test case tree on the left to see which test case we are checking at the moment. I suppose that other users also suffer from such inconveniences, and maybe they have other wishes to view the logs. That's why I think it should be possible to adjust the display once and keep it. So that you don't have to change the display of the log window every time you run test cases.

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.

Hello! Whenever an alias is changed in a project's NameMapping file, TestComplete will offer to automatically correct any items in Keyword Tests that use the alias. However, I have found that this feature only works with Test Actions (On-Screen Action, If Object, etc.) and Checkpoints (Property Checkpoint, Region Checkpoint, etc.) Currently, Logging items (Log, Post Screenshot, etc.) and Statements (While Loop, If... Then, Set Variable Value, etc.) do not get updated automatically with this feature. Having this functionality would help greatly reduce errors that result from partial renaming jobs.

In order to identify impacts when changing a keyword script, it would be useful to find what keyword tests use other keyword tests. Example: I have keyword test A and it is used in keyword tests 1, 2, & 3. I'd like to be able to right click keyword test A in the Project Explorer pane and be presented with "Find Usage". Clicking that would result in a list showing keyword tests 1, 2, & 3.
