TestComplete Feature Requests

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. ... View more

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...  ...

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

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!   ...

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,   I regularly manage to have enough KWTs, scripts and project tabs open to make the tabs run into a second row.  I find though that at any given time there's only 2 or 3 I use intensively at a time.  For example, I have a test keywordtest for experimenting with new scripts.  Each time I open a script to debug or step through that tab gets pushed out until it ends up on the second row of tabs and I have to search for it again - repeatedly.  What would be awesome is if we could say, decide three tabs are used very intensively at the moment and are important to have them within easy reach, please always keep them leftmost in the tabs.  I know there is right click=>default docking in Workspace, which appens to move it to the top if it's already tabbed, but as soon as I decide some other tab is more important, default docking in Workspace kicks all the tabs all over the show again and I have to redo the docking.  Just a plain "Pin" and it always stays there and "Unpin" and it can go where it wants again would suffice.   Regards,   ...

TestComplete lacks support for testing of Delphi / C++Builder applications that are using the FireMonkey / FireUI cross platform framework. The only options are to use OCR or low-level mode tesing, making UI testing cumbersome.   The FireMonkey framework is actually widely accepted and getting momentum in the Delphi community, and missing support for FireMonkey is quite a pity. ...

After recording a keyword test, the first thing I do is blank out the description for every new line.  Here's why:   The concocted description gives no added value. You can look at the other three columns and figure things out easily. When I want to override the concocted description with my own comment, it blends with the other lines that have concocted descriptions, thus, camouflaging my descriptions that I want other testers to see easily. Having unnecessary descriptions bloats (a wee little bit at a time) files that have to be checked in to source control. So the idea in baxatob's community post is great and would meet my needs.  A variation of this idea would be an all-time option to enable or disable.  If it is enabled, you could press an option to blank out concocted descriptions in all lines of the current test after it has been recorded (excluding lines that have already been manually edited, which is already being tagged as in the keyword test file as DescriptionEdited="True").   (One might say I should use Comments to do what I am wanting.  However, I use "Comments" to introduce a section of operations, and Description to give explanation on a specific line of code as needed. So, I use both Comments and Description)   (Note: This idea pertains only to Keyword Testing, not converting a Keyword Test to a script, which does have a mechanism to strip out Description.) ...

Hello, I work with two monitors and after running Keywordtests the pictures in the log are showing the secound (for testing unused) monitor. It´s not necessary to make a picture of both screens and I think nobody uses two screens for testing. So please change the process of screenshot making limited to one screen only or make it chooseable from which screen pictures are been taken.   Attached Screenshot is showing my secound (blank) screen on the left side. ...

I like Testcomplete and all it's features, however, when needing to write code it is a bit of a pain (intellisense, styling, code completion, indenting, etc., all do not work well). Instead of coding in Testcomplete, can we add support in VS Code for development and execution? Still have it tied to the license and no need for namemapping, at least not right away, so we can take advantage of a smoother ide. I currently use python with TestComplete. ... View more

Please provide ability to develop Testcomplete tests using VS Code (dll). No need to include namemapping or object spy feature. Just create an extension for quick test script development and execution using TestExecute. ... View more

I understand that Testcomplete is a scripting language and some use the tool for automation script development with "record & playback", however, it would be much appreciated have the option of developing using a oop design patterns.   Python and JavaScript are powerful languages. By relegating them to a script code style is stripping away their best features. Those that use JavaScript and Python for automation are using them with selenium which does not have a great way to automate desktop applications. By allowing users to choose to develop oop code with the namemapping features, Testcomplete can work as the preferred IDE for automation.  ... View more

I thought this should just be a feature already and I posted asking for help to get it to work.   https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/Log-Folder-Icon-Checkpoint-Over-Message-Javascript/m-p/200736#M37434   The log folders are real nice for cleaning up the logs but they only change Icon's if the Folder contains an Error or a Warning.    I want LogFolders to show a green if it contains a checkpoint.  A common sense order of importance Error > Warning > Checkpoint > Message.   Instead it's showing Error > Warning > Message.   I think it should even auto detect based on the Log item's priority that has been set.   Or just a method to hit  ie,  Log.CurrentStack(iconWarning, priorityHigh);     function TestScriptLog() { Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be an Error"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Warning("Warning in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Error("Error in Folder","",pmHighest); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be an Error"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder"); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder"); Log.Warning("Warning in Folder"); Log.Error("Error in Folder"); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be a Warning"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Warning("Warning in Folder","",pmHighest); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be a Warning"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder"); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder"); Log.Warning("Warning in Folder"); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be a Checkpoint"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder","",pmHighest); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be a Checkpoint"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder"); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder"); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be an Informational"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder","",pmHighest); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be an Informational"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder"); Log.PopLogFolder(); }   ...

Currently, test case value is visible from UI part, but the same identification from the script would be great. For example, it is available to get Enabled, Description, Timeout, etc https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/project-suite/testitem/properties.html   So, I want to request feature to get value using script if test item is marked as "test case" or not   About test case column from UI part https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/managing-projects/test-items.html   Thanks, Kristina ...

Changing tab order is "must have". But It's enabled only when mark was set for "Tools - Docking Allowed" But when it's set to "enabled", the tab can be dragged out from editor workspace, which often leads to unnecessary restoring default docking. Changing the tab order should be always enabled. When detaching it should be enabled only with "Docking Allowed" marked set active. ... View more

Hello, It is a great feature working on same project in shared folder, but we had noticed that it has two disadvantages: - Constanlly apears a pop-up a message when my colegue is making changes, asking me if i want to reload the project and if i confirm my changes are not saved. It remembered the last changes of my collegue.(the location of our shared folder which containes our shared project is on my collegue PC). - The second thing we noticed also when one of us reload the project with the newest changes ( click agree ), the variables that are created that day by the person that click yes to reload(pop-up message) the project are delited. ...
