TestComplete Feature Requests

Hi, when I add parameters to keyword tests, in some cases the default value would correspond to a Project (Suite) variable. Currently, I have to set a local variable and build an if clause like "if parameter not given set local variable value to project variable value". ... View more

Would like the ability to pass a variable value into a database checkpoint custom query. E.g. be able to store a case reference that will change each time and add that into the custom query so when calling the database its finding the specified record  ... View more

We are working to update our software to .net 6. On a test branch I tried my existing tests a found out that action clickbutton is no longer supported with the .net 6 release.   Other actions might also be affected, but to change all tests that use clickbutton to use a similar action is a lot of work. Using replace all in a text editor might work, but editing outside of testcomplete does not seem that great of an idea. ... View more

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

Hi,   I think it would be really helpful, if Group/Subgroup folders would have an ability to repeat their content by a defined number of times. Basically, the same as existing Cycle option for Test modules.   I have a scenario, where I need to perform the same steps "n" times, just with different input data. The only solution now, is to create the basic structure of steps inside a Group folder and then copy and paste the Group folder "n" times. I consider this approach pretty ineffective. Check this screenshot... If there would be a Count option at the Group level, it would allow me to perform the required steps with just single CreateAsset group, instead of 4 of them.   True, group folders currently does not support the data driven approach as well. But I believe I could easily fix that by a simple script, which would get the required data from CSV or similar file and fill them for each Group iteration run (based of actual iteration number, using Project TestItemObj.Iteration). What do you guys think? ... View more

Hi,   Please add an option in settings to disable adding of index after Copy/Paste of test item in Execution plan. I'm often copying/pasting multiple tests or whole folders in the Execution plan. However, after Paste, all pasted test items are automatically indexed. I first thought, that it's because there cannot be multiple test items with the same name. But it does not seems to be that case? I can easily rename the test item back to its original name, by deleting the index. But it's quite annoying in case of multiple test items. So an option in settings to disable this behavior would be really great. Thanks.   ... 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

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

as an example I made a few keywordtests that calculated certain dates. now in my project explorer there is no way to know where this test is being used. I try to use test parameters for a lot of things to reuse the tests in other places.  that way i dont rewrite teststeps multiple times The same for Script functions. if i want to know where this function is being used it would be nice to see where this test/script is referenced.   ...

We have aN existing project whose NameMapping uses the method "Identification properties" to identify the Objects we want to convert its NameMapping to "CSS/XPATH". We have found an option to activate the "CSS/XPATH" option via the existing project properties but if we activate it, all Tests that use the method "Identification properties" will all fail and we will need to fix all the testcases (we have about 750 tests). Also, we found this suggestion in community (https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Questions/Converting-an-old-project-to-CSS-XPATH/m-p/211613) but it didn't work for us because the code base for that feature, from the community article, was only made for version 14.72 ( and our version is 15.40) as mentioned by your Customer Care Engineer Sean ONeil in the case sent Case #00539513. Suggestion: Can you please enable the same feature in the cummunity article (https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Questions/Converting-an-old-project-to-CSS-XPATH/m-p/211613) for all versions including version 15.40? because it will really save our project.   Thanks. ...

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. ...

We need a feature were you can configure on the project or on the keyword test, that if the execution results on a failure, email the test result to an specific email. It will help a lot to be up to date on the tests results. ... View more

Hi,   It seems that in some cases, there is missing Aliases section in Select Object dialog. It's available in case of Selecting elements for OnScreen actions, but it's missing if Select Object is invoked via Edit Parameters.dialog and Onscreen Object mode. It would be really helpful to have the Aliases section (with Search) also in this particular case... Thanks. ... View more

Currently it is possible to link a TestComplete test to a Test Case in Zephyr Squad.  However, a Test Case can be made up of multiple Test Steps and there is currently no way to associate a TestComplete Test to one of these Steps.  It would be far more useful in our use of these tools if we could link to a Step. ...

Hi, At the moment, Name Mapping selectors could be variabilized only by using Project variables. Unfortunately, this is very limiting approach. For example, I want to create a single-purpose module, which will be used at multiple places in my test execution plan and which should click a button of certain (variable) name. Therefore, I want to pass the name of button, via module Parameter, defined in Test execution plan, instead of defining huge list of Project variables. Not to mention it would be impossible to assign multiple button names to the same project variable name. Or is there another approach? 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. ...

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
