TestComplete Feature Requests

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. ... View more

Given this ability to determine test complete behavior on error:   I would like to differentiate a runtime error as with an error in test creation and a test failure or checkpoint error. Something similar to many unit test frameworks assert fail so that I can have different playback behavior   and a failure specific event   ... View more

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.            ... View more

It would be very useful to have a feature where the test logs can be automatically generated to PDF files.   Essentially, rather than manually generate a PDF report as an export as instructed in Test Complete documentation: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/log/working-with/exporting/index.html#pdf have the PDF report generate with a simple "writeLogToPDF" command.   Thanks for your consideration!   ...

I would like to see on option on keyword tests where you can add a manual checkpoint   Currently, if the users has successfully logged in I can put in a checkpoint that states "object found" or by write a code snippet   code snippet has: Log.Checkpoint("User " + KeywordTests.login.Parameters.login_user + " successfully logged in")       I would like to get the option in a log comment - just like it is for the code (Log.Checkpoint) ...

Can you please support CSV files in a similar manner to Excel files for a Checkpoint? ... View more

When validating forms fields labels, and help text (properties ContentText values), the "Properties Checkpoint" is ideal. However, it waits for the Auto-wait timeout when it fails validation. In a large project, for example only 10 errors exist and each have to wait for the global default of 10 seconds, it would be 100 second additional run time where in automation time is of an essence.   Ideally the "Properties Checkpoint" should be performed in tow steps: 1. access the object including wait for the time out 2. compare the property value do not wait for the time out   Current options: 1. Change the global default time out of 10 seconds to a very low number, and that is not a good idea and still does not go as fast as should be 2. Override individual "Properties Checkpoint" to set a very low value, is difficult to maintain with constant edits, and still does not go as fast as should be 3. Use the "If Object" or "If Then" with "Log Message" it becomes 4 statements rather than the single "Properties Checkpoint", and still the time out applies ... View more

Hello everyone,   It would be very helpful if you could edit an existing image comparison within regions of a Checkpoint Wizard Image    If you have an image with a comparison mask, there is no way to subsequently include/exclude areas. The complete comparison must always be deleted here from regions and then the image must be re-recorded.   Best regards Jan       ... View more

Since we use the Intelligent Quality (AI) solution to recognize tables into our Desktop application, I regularly encounter issues with the recognition of the columns. Some examples of struggle points: 1. checkboxes are ignored or wrongly recognized 2. for columns with spaces in the header/content, this text is split up over different columns; on the other side, sometimes unexpectedly different columns are concatenated by TestComplete 3. empty columns (so not containing any value) are skipped so can't be checked 4. not possible to store multiple columns with the same header (but this is problably a limitation difficult to fix and probably we need to update our column namings in the application itself) ...

Currently clicking on stop button only calls GeneralEvents_OnStopTest but at that moment inside of GeneralEvents_OnStopTest Log.ErrCount is not raised by 1 because the Message "The script execution was interrupted" is only logged after GeneralEvents_OnStopTest is finished. Please add the possibility to catch the case "The script execution was interrupted" before GeneralEvents_OnStopTest is called (maybe a new Event GeneralEvents_OnStopButtonClicked) or raise Log.ErrCount by 1 before GeneralEvents_OnStopTest is called Here is also a thread i opened where the problem is explained: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Questions/No-Log-ErrCount-when-test-is-being-stopped-manually/td-p/250202   ...

It would be lovely to effectively have a 'negative' Region image check. In my test plan that I am automating, I check for a particular icon appearing in a page, perform an action, and would then like to be able to confirm that the icon no longer displays in it's previous location. I was trying to use if not Region...Check() but this gives me errors in the log, slows down the automation run, and tries to prepare hints as to what it now sees instead. ... View more

In the checkpoint wizard, after you've selected an object, you advance to the "Select data to check" screen, which then includes a table of one or more "suggested" properties to check.   There should be a way for a user to set default properties, such as height, width, etc, based on their testing preferences. ...

Can you pelase add one more argument for the method 'Region.Compare()' which is to pass a 'ColorTolerance' value? Region.Check() is having that but that logs the error which I don't want to happen in certain scenarios. https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/items/stores/regions/compare.html   Without having this ability, I have problem making use of the new feature 'rerun' tests when failed. ...

In a new versions of Testcomplete is disappeared the ability to select JScript language in project. But for several year has a problem that prevents our team from switching to JavaScript ES6. When test run has repeated Property checkpoints, each other assertion consumes more and more time to finish. It reproduces only in KeyWord tests, runned in JavaScript ES6 project with OnStartTest event is activated. In the attachment you can find an archive that will help you reproduce the problem. Execution of KeyWord test for a JScript ES3 project takes 53 seconds. For a JavaScript ES6 project, the same test takes more than two minutes to execute. There is a huge problem for a big projects. We created support Case #00415520 couple years ago, but this problem does not fixed yet in the newest versions. Perhaps the vote as feature request will push SmartBear to solve such a serious problem. ... View more
