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

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. ...

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

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

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

In large TestComplete project, it would be extremely handy to be able to Collapse/Expand (All and Group) in KeywordTests script. Same as implemented in Project Explorer, NameMapping, Script Editor, and Logs. ... View more

its not possible to select multiple keyword-tests (from the project tree) and drag them into an opened keyword-test (workspace). might be a helpful feature ... ... View more

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

Unfortunately, the WaitProperty method only supports the comparison operator equal. The following operators should also be supported: Does not equal, Less than, Less than or equal to, Greater than, Greater than or equal to   The ability to compare multiple properties would also be an improvement: WaitProperty with multiple properties - SmartBear Community ...

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

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. ...

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

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. ...

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. ...

everytime you open a keywordtest the project tree jumps to its location. if you have many many items in your tree it can be really annoying because you have to scroll and scroll. would be nice to have an option to disable the automatic behavior and use manual expansion (if needed). ... 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
