TestComplete Feature Requests

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...  ...

  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")     ...

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.   ...

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 ...

We use a great many image comparisons in our testing, these work well however the use of masks is far from intuitive and is cumbersome.  May I suggest that masks can be created interactively with the target image, maybe allowing the user to paint an area, or areas, to exclude.    Furthermore, when the images are compared following a test then the ares of the image that are excluded should be displayed.    Thanks  Ray   This feature is common in other tools  ...

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. ...

For Cucumber steps, TestComplete doesn't generate step definition with Keyword And. It only generates steps with Given, When, & Then Keywords. This causes code duplicity. Module 1: Scenario: Check and Open app Given I have app installed on my machine And I install DB on SQL Server for "IM" And I should open app with "IM" database as "default" user Module2: Scenario: Prerequisite for app Given I have app installed on my machine And I install DB on SQL Server for "CF" Then I install Application Server on my machine "CF" with "WorkflowFeature" And I should open app with "CF" database as "default" user In the above 2 steps are the same And I should open app with "IM" database as "default" user And I should open app with "CF" database as "default" user and should have only one step definition. But TestComplete generates 2 steps definitions, one with Given And other with Then. Cucumber, in general, doesn't take keywords in consideration while doing the step matching but in TestComplete it does. This is causing the problem and creating a lot of duplicate code.   We are looking for solution where TestComplete uses Cucumbers basic feature and do not consider Keywords while doing step matching and generates step definitions with all the keywords.We are looking for solution where TestComplete uses Cucumbers basic feature and do not consider Keywords while doing step matching and generates step definitions with all the keywords. ...

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

I am familiar with python,and do NOT want to learn testcomplete built-in function/method.However, I find that I can NOT invoke python native function/method by code completion in code editor.I just want it works like pycharm. For example,Step1:I define a list with python script. lst = [1,2,3,4] Step2:I input "lst." in code editor,if i am using "pycharm",it will pop up the below screenshot and it will show the native function，but NOT in testcomplete code editor ...

When I add a keyword to a keyord test,  default description is added. For instance, if I add a script routine to a keyword test, a description "runs a script routine" is added.  I would like to be able to TURN OFF the addition of default descriptions so that a person creating a test either adds a meaningful description or it is left blank.    Thanks ...

I have a ProjectSuite with multiple projects in which keyword-test-routines of one project are referenced in multiple other projects. If an original keyword-routine is renamed, there is no other way but to remove and then readd the references after which all usages of these references in actual tests have to be found and replaced with the renamed references as well - needless to say, that this is always a quite hideous task.   It would be very helpful if renaming a keyword/script would also rename all references and all places where they are used. ...
