TestComplete Feature Requests

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,

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.)

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.

as the title. maybe something like: /pi:NetworkSuite /t:MyNetworksuiteTest

it is not possible to work with multiple keywordtest-logs at the workspace. if you have one opened and opens another one, the first opened one will disappear.

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.

There is no color coding displayed for pending step definitions in scenario file. It is not clear by looking on the scenarios that which step has step definition and which step doesn't. It will be helpful if pending steps can be displayed in different color.

We develop WPF applications for Desktop with touch screen. TC provides only mouse events of controls. Touch events and mouse events are entirely different beasts. They are not interchangeable. Testing of drag, flick, pinch, press+drag, rotate... (multi touch) are not possible to test with TestComplete. But this is neccessary.

Visual Studio enterprise allows us to create Load Tests to performance test our application. This achieved by creating a series of Web Performance Test scripts and then creating a Load Test setup to distribute the scripts and user load in a controlled manner. (Fig 1) Fig 1. Visual Studio Web Performance Test scripts in Load Test setup Currently Test Completes support integration with Visual Studio where Test complete scripts can be run via a Visual Studio controller and Test Agent config. But this is limited to only running Test complete tests one by one (Like a regression test suite). Unfortunately a Test Complete script which is in a Visual Studio project cannot be run via the Visual Studio Load Test setup as it does not recognise Test Complete scripts. You get the below error when tying to add the test to a load test config (Fig 2) Fig 2. Error when adding an existing Test Complete script to a Load Test Setup The reason why Test Complete comes in handy for load tests is because some applications depend on processing in the client end before displaying the results in the GUI (something like a thick client). The time taken for this processing would not be captured via middle tier simulation supported by Visual Studio. Business critical systems which require transaction performance monitored release by release will benefit from the ability to include Test complete scripts in a Visual Studio Load Test as it will allow us to create background "Load" via Visual Studio scripts and monitor real life End to end transaction performance under load via a series of Test complete scripts which run as part of the load test.
