I got one license for TestComplete and one license for TestExecute on a remote machine. When i´m executing in TestComplete a NetworkSuite-Job on the remote TestExecute i can´t work on my KeywordTest/Scripts/ect. while its executing. (The strange thing is: i can open KeywordTests, i can add other tests to it but i can´t delete these - so why?). So my idea is just an call-for-action: Please make TestComplete workable, while it´s executing remote things!

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.

The warning "An object recognition hint. See Additional Information for details." is always displayed, when an object is used and not found. When testing if an object exists, the warning is not needed. Not finding the object in that case is not necessary a problem. Not generating warning when testing the Exists property, would also make "legitimate" object recognition hints easier to find and fix. At least, it would be convenient, to have an option to turn it off at the project level.

I am using test complete since last four years. I have recently migrated from test complete 8.2 to Test complete 10. The most missing feature with this tool is that it does not support automation on linux and mac flavour of OS. It will be good to add support of this tool on linux and mac os. This will certainly increase demand of this tool in near future.

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.

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.

The editor in Visual Studio Code is much better than what is provided with Test Complete. This request is to integrate into Visual Studio Code for source editing and debugging. Visual Studio Code is very extendable and would provide a much better coding and debugging experience than the provided Test Complete text editor.

I like the BDD principles and was investigating it's potential application combined with TestComplete.
Read this, this, this and this article on it.
Personally I have come to the conclusion that BDD has definitely potential but the frameworks currently investigated (Lettuce, Cucumber) require way to much fragile configuration (settings project folders name, test names, etc, etc) to be able to use this effectively in Contiuous Delivery / Continuous Integration alike approaches. In practise you end up maintaining the configuration files, editing connection / integration scripts to keep 'alive' the integration between Cucumber/Lettuce and TestComplete.
Therefore, I would go for a BDD framework within TestComplete (or another product from SmartBear) which can guaranty integrity of BDD features/specifications/test-steps on the one hand, and the actual tests/validations (wheter these are scripts or Keyword tests) on the other hand.
I would like to see this implemented in either TestComplete itself (sort of like currently Manual Testing (and the conversion to automated tests) is supported (but this is going to be depreciated unfortunately but that's another subject), or in a seperate tool which would then be required to be very well integrated with TC (such as like sharing variables, parameters, etc).
When supported in TestComplete itself it could be placed in "advanced node" in a project, for example. And this module would be able to read (import) .feature files like the GIVEN/WHEN/THEN , Gherkin language support. After importing the test/QA engineer would do his/her work to 'knot' the features and the tests together in the framework.
By keeping this all in one tool would prevent ending up in constantly updating settings like updating configuration files, (re)define directories if projects are moved, etc. That's exactly what's NOT needed in CI/CD environments.

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.

Personally, I hate the new feature in 12.30 "Smarter auto-formatting. When you type a bracket or a quotation mark, the Editor now automatically inserts the corresponding closing bracket or quotation mark." Please see community post for more details: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/TestComplete-editor-turn-off-insert-pair-aka-automatically-close/m-p/141131 I would love to have an option to shut this off.

If a script causes an error, TC will either terminate the test run or just go on, depending on the "stop on error" option. In both cases, trying to find the cause of the error is very time consuming: You have to re-run the test and set a breakpoint there. I'd propose a "break on error" option, which behaves as if I had set a breakpoint in the errorneous line. TC shall execute the line, monitor the error, and give me the chance to work with the debugger: evaluate expressions, re-run statements and so on

Right now, when you rename a variable from name "x" to "y", the (keyword)tests in which these variables are used are not updated. When run they fail with an exception. In my opinion the link should be maintained (ie. when the name is updated the code in which the variable name is used should be updated as well). Similar like now already implemented in name mapping (renaming aliases results in updating the keyword scripts, very handy!).

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.

This is probably already on the SmartBear to-do list. As @Pranalee suggested, it would be good to have the Set Next Statement available for all script languages.

I have created 100s of variables over the last couple of years and have no way of knowing if they are now redundant / where I am using them It would be useful to be able to see a list of variables that are not used in any tests and to see a list of tests that variables are used in.
