TestComplete Feature Requests

TestComplete saves a minidump of an executable that crashes on the PC it is running. These programs could crash due to the testing being performed, and the minidumps are very valuable when analyzing the test results. It should be possible to incude the heap to the minidump. Either by default or as a configurable option. ... View more

TestComplete has its own HomePage... Contains links to recents Projects etc..   Please ADD a way of allowing each Project Suite to have a Home Page /  'read me' page? We need to have a page that links Exectution Prerequsits, Project Jiras, Confluence pages, Test Info etc..   At the moment I've had to include a Manual Testing Project (Defaulted) and added Test Case with this info...  ...

When a test starts, a log folder is created and used to capture results real-time as steps complete.  However there is no way to view it using TestExecute until the test finishes.  Also, the XML format of the log is proprietary without any easy way to interpret and display directly.The only solution I found  is a script command  that allows saving the current log as HTML:    “Log.SaveResultsAs("C:\\Users\\User1\\Documents\\Test",lsHTML,false);”   Placing this command at various strategic locations, and refreshing the browser, can get close, but ideally a seperate utility is available that allows for viewing and monitoring the progress of a long running script. ...

Templates is a Nice feature in testcomplete. But I understand the templates can be used for Newly added object and not for the exiting ones.   Feature request: Allowing Tempaltes to Apply for existing namemapping files.   Advantages: 1) Existing NameMapping can be maintained well 2) If NameMapping files got missed, used NameMapping templates and Auto update during runtime feature can re-Create NameMapping 3) Will resolve conflicts between multiple NameMapping created. 4) Increasing the usage of Auto Namemapping instead of Manual namemapping saves huge time.   Improves Namemapping maintance.   Regards Valla ...

  Attached as a PDF is my idea in a better format!   In the project window there is a drop down under the column of On Error. This field determines what TestComplete does when it encounters an error. The option of this are Continue running, Stop test item, Stop project, or Inherit from project. I would like to add one option to this called Raise exception.      This would allow users to do their own error handling by wrapping their entire test function associated with the test item in a try catch statement.    One use case for this would be running a test multiple times with different data (ie: Account Number). When an error occurs we would like it to move onto the next account not continue executing with this same account so continue running will not work in this case. If we use stop test item we will not be able to execute the accounts after it.  This is why there should be a 5th custom option that will let you handle it yourself. This is how a test case would be structured with multiple data points (ie: account numbers) if this feature existed:   def MultipleDataPointTest(): accounts = ReadAccountsNumberDataBase(querry) for account in accounts: try: #Arrange testCaseAccountNumber = int(account[0]) Log.PushLogFolder(Log.CreateFolder("Test data: " + str(testCaseAccountNumber))) #Act TestStep1() TestStep2() TestStep3() #Assert confirmValue = getValue() if(not confirmValue): Log.Error("Test Failed") Log.Error("Test Passed") CloseOpenBrowsers() Log.PopLogFolder() except Exception as e: CloseOpenBrowsers() Log.Warning("The error was: " + str(e)) Log.Warning("Moving on to next account.") Log.PopLogFolder() continue This problem arises because Smart Bears has there own error handling and when there is an error in one of the TestComplete modules it is already handled. See code below for what kind of errors throw exception when test item on continue running: #generic function to call possible functions errors def Testing(): try: #replace with any below to see result Error2() except Exception as e: Log.Warning("The error was: " + str(e)) pass # generic python error # WILL raise exception def Error1(): Log.Message(badvar) Log.Message("Still going") # Click on Object that does not exist # will NOT raise exception def Error2(): Aliases.browser.Click() Log.Message("Still going") # Enter .Keys() on Object that does not exist # will NOT raise exception def Error3(): Aliases.browser.Keys('[Enter]') Log.Message("Still going") # Log.Error(string) # will NOT raise exception def Error4(): Log.Error("Bad thing") Log.Message("Still going") # Purposeful execution raising # WILL raise exception def Error5(): Log.Error("Bad thing") raise Exception Log.Message("Still going")     ...

Hi, I export several log files from testexecute in .tcLogX, to be read in testcomplete. It would be very handy to import in testcomplete several log files in the same time, manually or automatically. (Instead of doing manually (in testcomplete): right click on the project suite log -> add -> existing log files for each log file.) Manually, it could be a commande: add -> existing log folder ? Automatically, it could be a commande line to export directly to a project (in order to to find the logs already added to the project, when the project is open in testcomplete) Thank you. ...

Hello, when using the "Set variable value" action, a new window opens up to select the variable. There I can expand e.g. the project. Could you please order the variables by name? At the moment they aren't ordered at all, and it is really hard to find something, as you cannot just enter the name but have to find and select it. See attached screenshot. Thank you Daniel ...

Hi All,   I would like to have a feature in SmartBear TestComplete, where we can run only the failed test items in the project suite. Explaining in detail: Assume I have a project suite with 3 projects with that suite, and each project has around 100 test items to be executed. So in total 300 test items are to be executed, when execution triggered for project suite. After the first round of execution, assume in each projects 10 test items failed randomly. Currently, what we have to do is, we need to select those failed test items manually and trigger execution again on the whole project suite. [This we have to do, when tests are failed due to some environment issues and so] It would be good, if we have an option of running only the failed test items from the last run.   Thanks, Karthik K R ...

Currently, once the tests are executed in TestComplete, we can export the results and the summary into MHT format but not in Excel. Getting the results in Excel is a basic need in most projects where you have to report the results based on the number of tests run including the Passed and the Failed tests.   If not Excel, at least a CSV format should be good to start with. ...

In out project we have multiple test items and each of our test item have some iterations defined. While running project suit if any error occurs during any of the iteration for any test item, the execution stops for the whole test item and test complete does not execute the next iteration in line but instead execution proceeds with the next test item. This behavior of test complete is problematic  as the previous iteration could have failed due to application error and many other possible reasons . So ideally if one iteration is failing then test complete should not stop the executions for next iteration. I had also dicsussed this isue with smart bear support team and they have suggested me to made a request for feature implementation. It would be really nice to have this feature becasue its very common in automation for a test case to have mulitiple set of test data and iterations are only good approach to do this. ... View more

Currently, the result of the test case is independent of the slave test results.   Considering the increased usage of distributed testing, a feature to make the master testcase as fail, if the slave task fail is highly required.   This can be easily implemented using the Network suite variable. one can set the network suite variable as True or False based on the output of slave task.   ...

Testcomplete should export code completion information for use in other code text editors, such as Sublime Text 3 or Visual Studio Code. This would allow testers to write more scripts while other testers on the same team use TestComplete for its primary function: building and maintaining keyword tests and checkpoints.   Currently, tying up a very expensive instance of TestComplete does not make sense when editing code is not in the top 5 use cases of the tool itself. Additionally, SmartBear would benefit immensely from the efforts of other popular free text editors. ... View more
