TestComplete Feature Requests

From aliases you can track to Mapped object...but not vise versa. It would be very usefull if right mouse on mapped object and see aliases (could be one, more or none) ... View more

I would love a way to go back to the old versions of TestComplete where that object recognition hint stuff wasn't present.   I have never seen this be helpful; it's only caused problems for us when running tests. The objects are either gone because a window closed and TestComplete doesn't recognize that or TestComplete tries to find a control and takes 3-15 minutes to finish the hint and click the button.   I want a way to shut this feature off completely. ...

Testcomplete should export code completion information for use in other code text editors, such as Sublime Text 3 or Visual Studio Code. This would allow testers to write more scripts while other testers on the same team use TestComplete for its primary function: building and maintaining keyword tests and checkpoints.   Currently, tying up a very expensive instance of TestComplete does not make sense when editing code is not in the top 5 use cases of the tool itself. Additionally, SmartBear would benefit immensely from the efforts of other popular free text editors. ... View more

Hi,   I would like to add an option to loop on group of tests. on the test managments there is an option to repeat on specific test, at the group there isn't option to change the count.   I would like to add count also on group of tests and the loop will execute all the test in that group and repeat on that the number of times as apear on the count parameter.   Ran ...

I use "Find Mapped Objects" function a lot to find the Mapped Objects from their Aliases. But sometimes there are only Mapped Objects created without the Aliases. There are a lot of cases that I need to find if the Alias for a Mapped Object. Currently there is no such function exist so I ended up spending a lot of time to guess which one is its Alias. Especially when an Alias was moved away from its original hierarchy to a different location, there is no way I can trace it by its hierarchy. It would be very helpful to trace the objects both ways (from Aliases to Mapped Objects and from Mapped Objects to Aliases). ... View more

It would be great to add the PCoIP protocol as a connection possibility to the Network Suite/Distributed Testing. At the moment only connection options with RDP are available.   Benefits of which i could think of: - Support of certain ressource analysis/monitoring tools - More "realistic" setup, as the VM would be connected over a view broker/server (though probably there won't be any large difference in performance for example)   The only way to make this work until now (that I know of) is to open a session with a zero client and set the connection type in the Network Suite to "Manual", but then obviously all VM's need to run from a physical client. ...

Hi, Thanks to the TestComplete - Jenkins plugin as w e are enjoying the Integration process. And now thinking about few ways that it could be improved in-order to be more effective. Now if you see in the Jenkins 'Console', this is what we can see - about launching the  TC  application and about the closing the TC. I would like to know the information during run time within the  J enkins Console output . Let's say the test execution takes about one hour, the information in the jenkins console would help me to know when and what's happening like atleast which test case is running at the moment...   [02:18:08] TC01: xxxx [02:25:57] TC02: yyyy [02:34:22] TC03: zzzz   Is there any possibilities that TestComplete can communicate with Jenkins during runtime to post these information?   If so, my suggestion is:- May be our existing methods like Log.event could post such details to Jenkins console. Or a can have a new Log method.   Advantage : We do not want to login to TestComplete box to know what's happening. Rather the information in the jenkins console is more than enough.    New idea raised as per the discussion - https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/Printing-log-information-in-Jenkins-console/td-p/165140   Thanks ...

It's very tedious to export one by one when you have tens to hundreds of log files and you want to export all of them. A mass export option would be helpful. ... View more

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. ...

Hello,   As many code editors propose, it would be interesting to be able to use keyboard shortcuts to move a line or lines of code up (CTRL+SHIFT+UP) or down (CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN).   Thank you ... View more

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. ...

There needs to be some way to easily customize the settings within TestExecute without having to login to every machine that has TestExecute installed on it and manually configuring it.   Either installation parameters, more execution parameters, or a human readable tcsettings.xml file that can be rewritten to configure the installation.  Something like this.  My company has 10 licenses for TestExecute, and our lab machines are very dynamic, meaning they get rebuilt often.  We are automating the setup/configuration of that environment, but this has become a limiting factor.   There are 3 key settings that I absolutely had to modify on each installation, and therefore we have opted currently to copy this XML file across all of our clients, but because the file is not human readable, I have no idea what other things are in there, and what might cause problems because I copied the file from another machine.   Also, I think it would be a good idea to have an option to make this configuration file be at the machine level rather than the user level.  While there may be a case for user specific settings, if that is not needed, managing these settings at a machine level rather than a user level would be far more efficient and less of a headache. ...

It is extremely embarrassing to using TestComplete when the UI just won't work with you when presenting onto a projector. I normally work in 1920x1080p but when I go to present to the higher ups, the TestComplete IDE just will not work. Text the size of ants or windows that will refuse to enlarge. etc. DPI scaling with TestComplete requires a major re haul if I wish to do any more presentations to those who pay for licenses.   I present in 2736x1824.  We use Microsoft surface pros, so it is not just presenting on a project it is just using the surface by itself without downgrading my resolution or using my duel monitors. ...

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 ...

Personally, I hate the new feature in 12.30 "Smarter auto-formatting. When you type a bracket or a quotation mark, the Editor now automatically inserts the corresponding closing bracket or quotation mark."   Please see community post for more details: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/TestComplete-editor-turn-off-insert-pair-aka-automatically-close/m-p/141131   I would love to have an option to shut this off. ...

We would like to be able to capture any logs from the console or network messages so that we can provide specific network errors to our developers for any intermittent bugs that may occur which are of this nature. Currently, while we can open developer tools and access this via the object browser to get the elements which contain the log messages, we can't do this solely via an automated run in Test Complete. Is there a way we could get this information and if not could you add a feature for getting it? ... View more

It would be great if you would show the NaqmeMapping entry for the Parent and Object when recording.     Then revert back to the raw names if a NameMapping entry isn't found. Then I could go create a new NameMapping entry manually (as the automatically saved properties are not great for web apps). Give me a button on this dialog to create a NameMapping entry while still recording and this feature would be even better! ... View more
