TestComplete Feature Requests

Hello, I've ticked the "Activate after test run" into the Engines > Log options. In my code editor I've opened two scripts A and B. I'm working on my A script. After executing my project, the new log tab opens next right to my A tab (which is ok) But when I close the log tab, it activates the next right tab (which is my B script) and not my previous active script (which should be my previous left A script). I've to perpetually click on the A tab to go back to my current work after each execution. The behavior is the same whith every opened/closed tab : opening = next right, closing = activates next right tab (and not previous left one) Thanks in advance ! ... View more

Would love to see an option to Find and Replace All matching text in a project, project suite, name mapping, or project item with TestComplete.   From this:   To something more like Notepadd++ or VSCode:   ... View more

When you write code, sometimes you forget about its beauty - somewhere you missed the semicolon, somewhere the indentations are wrong or something else. But I really want the code to be beautiful. And when there are many people in the team with different experiences, their style of writing code is very different. And I really want everyone to be "on the same wave" and everyone wrote beautiful code in one common style!   Prettier (https://prettier.io) handles this task best. It would be great if you could connect it to TestComplete.   What do you think? ... 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

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for example Elasticsearch live logging like many other modern test frameworks, not only HTML reporting that is very outdated today.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

Adding a search bar, or maybe ctrl+f searching to the project explorer itself would help in navigating and finding tests and scripts, especially when there are a large number of tests. ... View more

There are no straight and easier ways to integrate TestComplete with Zephyr Scale like it does with Zephyr for Jira (now Squad). Following the API route is very time consuming and taking a lot of effort without any proper working guidelines.   Kindly implement the seamless integration between TestComplete and Zephyr Scale. ...

When I check logs, I always have to: enlarge the block with the screenshot to immediately see which elements are in action expand the test case tree on the left to see which test case we are checking at the moment. I suppose that other users also suffer from such inconveniences, and maybe they have other wishes to view the logs. That's why I think it should be possible to adjust the display once and keep it. So that you don't have to change the display of the log window every time you run test cases.   ... 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

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

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. ...

I would like a couple more options on the event handler   I would like "on Project Start" to run a script to initialize variables - I don't need to run this at the start of every project ... View more

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

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. ...

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

Hi,   The request is to have the 'Execution Plan Editor' to work with Automation tests that has 'tags' on them.   Currently if the "Run @tag" option is selected, the tests will run in no apparent order, ie. the 'Execution Plan Editor' feature does not work along with it.   Hope that the feature request can have some priority, since it would definitely help a lot of Projects that utilize the Automation tests to run on CI/CD Pipeline.   Thank you in advance. ...
