TestComplete Feature Requests

Testcomplete is really far behind on browser support. Edge : 83 - 105 // Current version 112 Chrome 105 // Current version 113 Firefox 91 // Current version 102 More and more tests are starting to break, the community page is full of people with browser problems. It just really needs to get updated to at least 1 or 2 versions ago.   I understand that keeping up with the newest version is difficult because of the constant updates. But it's time to support more recent versions again. ... View more

Let's say you don't like the name you gave an object in the NameMapper. When you change the name of that object, the name will also be updated in any and all Keyword tests which this object was used in. However, the name will Not be updated when used in script tests. It would be nice if the name would be updated in Scripts. Sometimes we think of better naming conventions and want to rename some objects.  ... View more

You can't search for features in keywords yet. You can only search for values. I think it would be good to be able to find what KW is in what function .. I miss this feature a lot in this otherwise excellent tool ... View more

As part of the Event Handlers, we have lot of events in TestComplete which are easy to implement in Project and helps to reduce manual effort. There is one Event called 'OnWebPageDownloaded' which occurs post the web browser loads a page specified by URL.  However, this event is supported to IE browser and MS Web Browser control only.  This event is not supported to Chrome & Edge browser as both are mode from Chromium engine. Please implement this event for other browsers like Chrome, Edge & Firefox browser as a future purpose.. That will helps to implement same event across all the browsers. ... View more

Hi,   This is a followup to this post: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Questions/Getting-Name-of-Failed-test-in-OnLogError-Event/td-p/244058 At the moment, we have a property aqTestCase.CurrentTestCase.Name, which returns the name of current Test Case. However, this property returns null/exception in case the module in not set as a 'Test Case' in the Execution Plan. The thing is, that not all modules are usually set as Test Case, therefore aqTestCase.CurrentTestCase.Name is useless for these modules. So it would be nice to have either a new property or extended existing CurrentTestCase.Name property, which will return the name of module, regardless it's set as TestCase or not. Thanks. ...

Please support up-to-date versions of Chromium Embedded Framework. We are using an application that has just been updated to CEF v108 and now the GUI objects are not recognized anymore. Thanks! ... View more

Instead of limiting the number of logs kept by Test Complete by a count,  it would be nice if it they could be limited by a time period. For example, keep the last Month of test logs.   This would be useful for users who run a high volume of tests in a short amount of time, but would still like to keep their output logs under control and accessible. ...

I use scripts along with keyword tests.  When I use a keyword tests within a script test, it would be nice if there was a quick way to 'Go to Keyword Test' if I want to edit the keyword tests. right now I have to search for it within the project explorer.  ... View more

I would like to see a native integration between TestComplete projects and GitActions runners. Currently the only option is to create a custom workflow and use self-hosted runners, but this on-prem configuration is a bit archaic as many companies are moving to 100% cloud. ... View more

In order to identify impacts when changing a keyword script, it would be useful to find what keyword tests use other keyword tests.   Example: I have keyword test A and it is used in keyword tests 1, 2, & 3.  I'd like to be able to right click keyword test A in the Project Explorer pane and be presented with "Find Usage".  Clicking that would result in a list showing keyword tests 1, 2, & 3. ...

We want to setup our objects in a folder structure within the Namemapping area this would allow for ease of use when creating a new script. At this point there is no way to add New Folders in the Aliases section for us to move the objects into.   ... View more

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

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

Azure DevOps seems to be a popular option these days. Please consider adding the following as a feature in the near future.   1. Post Bugs from Test complete to Azure DevOps 2. Post Work Item from TestComplete to Azure DevOps 3. Upload Test Plan from TestComplete to ADO.  ... View more

Unfortunately, the WaitProperty method only supports the comparison operator equal.

With right click on a branch in the project explorers tree the option for collapsing/expanding appears. But everytime it collapses/expanses the whole tree and not certain branches. When you working with complex projects it would be great to have the option to just collapse/expand a single branch. ... View more

The suggestion is to allow a TestComplete user the ability to define "profiles" for settings/options. For a simple example, while I am developing tests, I might want to set error handling to "Stop Project", slow down the playback events or store all logs. But, when TestComplete tests are "in  production" (run nightly from Jenkins, for example), the settings might need to be different; I might want error handling to be "Stop and rerun current item", playback events at their defaults or only keep the 5 most recent logs for example. ...

Hi, It would be very useful to get instant test logs during test execution. Currently TestComplete does not provide a scripting interface to the test log of the current run. it is very limiting for us. We have desktop UI tests with several hours execution and waiting for the log result is very impractical. I think it would be nice to support for example Elasticsearch live logging like many other modern test frameworks, not only HTML reporting that is very outdated today. ... View more

TL;DR: I want to be able to set some setting somewhere that tells TestComplete to only use the "data-testid" (or any other) attribute to map objects.    What is a data-testid? We have the data-testid tag on every (important) element on our webpage. This testid is used to uniquely identify an object, meaning no other object on the webpage has this testid.   For example like this: <fro-input-wrapper data-testid="CONFIG.COMMON.systemName"> <mat-form-field> <wrapper> <input> </wrapper> </mat-form-field> </fro-input-wrapper>   This is obviously a very simplified version, but this is how every object looks like. So every button, every text-input, etc has this attribute.     What we currently do We map our objects using XPath, since it is so much faster at runtime to find the objects. So we have only one selector for every object, since we don't need more than that. So our XPath for finding the object shown before would look like that:  //fro-input-wrapper[contains(@data-testid, 'CONFIG.COMMON.systemName')]//input   The issue is, that when we use the TestComplete Object Spy and hover over the Object shown before, TestComplete searches out what it thinks is best suited for mapping the object. Which is totally random and does not conform to the way we want it (like shown above) The TestComplete Mapping looks something like that....     ... Which is just some random way to identify the object.    So currently what I created is a Template for every object type (inputfield, slide-toggle, button, ...) that we just copy paste and paste in the correct data-testid. This is the most elegant solution that we found and it works sort of well. But I cant think that we are the only ones using some form of testid on our object.  We are thinking about switching to Cypress, since it supports data-testid with a testing-libary, but the issue is that not everyone in our team is a coder and doesn't know how to code in JS.   What we want   A setting to define any attribute (in our case the data-testid) that TestComplete automatically uses to map the objects. I imagine it working something like that:   Using the Object Spy to hover over an object that I want to map TestComplete searches for the data-testid attribute If it doesn't find one in exactly the Object that has been selected, it searches upwards in the DOM tree until it finds an object containing that data-testid attribute. It uses to object to map the original Object that was hovered over.   I don't think that this would be too hard to implement and it would greatly improve our workflow.,   For any questions regarding the issue, please feel free to ask. ...
