TestComplete Feature Requests

ReactNative is a standard for mobile app development these days and TestComplete still doesn't support that. There exist some discussions in this forum that TesComplete might be support ReactNative but this is not true... I was discussing with TestComplete and they said that this is not possible.  If TestComplete wants to be a competitive tool in mobile testing then ReactNative support is a must-have feature. Sadly but this is a huge obstacle for our company and we even thinking about switching to another testing tool...  Other well known commercial testing frameworks support this but TestComplete is not. I strongly believe in this automation tool and I hope that Mobile Automation is the thing that you're planning to improve. Because it has always been a weak spot for TestComplete.  ... View more

I want to submit the support for the Internationalization API as I tried to use it myself here: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/Date-toLocaleString-not-working/td-p/202534 and in 2018 the user Muts here: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/Javascript-toLocaleString/m-p/158445#M31749 in the documentation it is mentioned that it is not supported here: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/specifics/javascript.html#Unsupported   I am sure that TestComplete is not only used in english speaking languages, so it would be nice to write Tests that are time critical or have a heavy use of time stamps and do some math with times in the local time and date format. It would be nice and I hope, some more users need want this too. 😃   have a nice day all.   ... View more

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. ... View more

We need to grab an onscreen value (confirmation number, ticket number etc) from web page and pass that value into a sql query to perform a database checks. So, i am using a project variables to capture the on-screen value. Currently, i have to edit the db checkpoint and insert the value manually into the custom query page to perform back end validation using TestComplete. For values that change every time the test case is executed (example - confirmation number) If we can automate the process of capturing the on-screen value from the variable and passing it to the query, the whole test case will become automated and reduce the need for manual intervention. Are there any other approaches adopted by any other customers which might help solve this need? ... View more

TestComplete saves a minidump of an executable that crashes on the PC it is running. These programs could crash due to the testing being performed, and the minidumps are very valuable when analyzing the test results. It should be possible to incude the heap to the minidump. Either by default or as a configurable option. ... View more

In local machine, Automatic updates on Chrome and Firefox will be active and hence automatically the new version is updated whenever there is a release. When I run scripts in Test Complete locally , it picks up the latest version of browser and performs execution when I have not specified any version in Launch code.   Whereas in CBT, When I run the remote browser code, specifying the browser version becomes mandatory, can we develop a feature where version is optional and when not specified it picks up the latest version of browser and performs the execution on CBT ...

TestComplete has its own HomePage... Contains links to recents Projects etc..   Please ADD a way of allowing each Project Suite to have a Home Page /  'read me' page? We need to have a page that links Exectution Prerequsits, Project Jiras, Confluence pages, Test Info etc..   At the moment I've had to include a Manual Testing Project (Defaulted) and added Test Case with this info...  ...

When a test starts, a log folder is created and used to capture results real-time as steps complete.  However there is no way to view it using TestExecute until the test finishes.  Also, the XML format of the log is proprietary without any easy way to interpret and display directly.The only solution I found  is a script command  that allows saving the current log as HTML:    “Log.SaveResultsAs("C:\\Users\\User1\\Documents\\Test",lsHTML,false);”   Placing this command at various strategic locations, and refreshing the browser, can get close, but ideally a seperate utility is available that allows for viewing and monitoring the progress of a long running script. ...

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. ... View more

  Attached as a PDF is my idea in a better format!   In the project window there is a drop down under the column of On Error. This field determines what TestComplete does when it encounters an error. The option of this are Continue running, Stop test item, Stop project, or Inherit from project. I would like to add one option to this called Raise exception.      This would allow users to do their own error handling by wrapping their entire test function associated with the test item in a try catch statement.    One use case for this would be running a test multiple times with different data (ie: Account Number). When an error occurs we would like it to move onto the next account not continue executing with this same account so continue running will not work in this case. If we use stop test item we will not be able to execute the accounts after it.  This is why there should be a 5th custom option that will let you handle it yourself. This is how a test case would be structured with multiple data points (ie: account numbers) if this feature existed:   def MultipleDataPointTest(): accounts = ReadAccountsNumberDataBase(querry) for account in accounts: try: #Arrange testCaseAccountNumber = int(account[0]) Log.PushLogFolder(Log.CreateFolder("Test data: " + str(testCaseAccountNumber))) #Act TestStep1() TestStep2() TestStep3() #Assert confirmValue = getValue() if(not confirmValue): Log.Error("Test Failed") Log.Error("Test Passed") CloseOpenBrowsers() Log.PopLogFolder() except Exception as e: CloseOpenBrowsers() Log.Warning("The error was: " + str(e)) Log.Warning("Moving on to next account.") Log.PopLogFolder() continue This problem arises because Smart Bears has there own error handling and when there is an error in one of the TestComplete modules it is already handled. See code below for what kind of errors throw exception when test item on continue running: #generic function to call possible functions errors def Testing(): try: #replace with any below to see result Error2() except Exception as e: Log.Warning("The error was: " + str(e)) pass # generic python error # WILL raise exception def Error1(): Log.Message(badvar) Log.Message("Still going") # Click on Object that does not exist # will NOT raise exception def Error2(): Aliases.browser.Click() Log.Message("Still going") # Enter .Keys() on Object that does not exist # will NOT raise exception def Error3(): Aliases.browser.Keys('[Enter]') Log.Message("Still going") # Log.Error(string) # will NOT raise exception def Error4(): Log.Error("Bad thing") Log.Message("Still going") # Purposeful execution raising # WILL raise exception def Error5(): Log.Error("Bad thing") raise Exception Log.Message("Still going")     ...

Hi, I export several log files from testexecute in .tcLogX, to be read in testcomplete. It would be very handy to import in testcomplete several log files in the same time, manually or automatically. (Instead of doing manually (in testcomplete): right click on the project suite log -> add -> existing log files for each log file.) Manually, it could be a commande: add -> existing log folder ? Automatically, it could be a commande line to export directly to a project (in order to to find the logs already added to the project, when the project is open in testcomplete) Thank you. ...

Hello, when using the "Set variable value" action, a new window opens up to select the variable. There I can expand e.g. the project. Could you please order the variables by name? At the moment they aren't ordered at all, and it is really hard to find something, as you cannot just enter the name but have to find and select it. See attached screenshot. Thank you Daniel ...

TestComplete uses its own JIT debugger to track application crashes and capture their dumps. The debugger is triggered for all process crashes in the OS. It would be useful if we could filter by process which crashes are reported as errors in the test log.    Background: Today we have trouble with TestExecute reporting crashes in mobsync.exe  (Microsoft Sync Center) as errors. We have no known way to disable mobsync.exe (Offline Files is disabled but it runs anyway on every login).  It is possble to work around this problem by disabling all crash monitoring (renaming tcJITHook.exe) but we prefer keeping it for relevant processes.    ...

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. ...

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 ...
