Script Extensions
This is just a few brief questions to start discussion. shankar_r recently posted a framework he built in a script extension. There was another discussion yesterday to debug a script extension problem. As you can see in my signature, I use them a lot and do some development on the side. Most of the framework I'm using currently in my employment is built into an extension.
This is a pretty powerful feature of TestComplete and I think it can be leveraged for a lot of benefit in automation environments. I think, also, this is an opportunity for sharing of code and resources in a format that is easily dropped in to any project, regardless of initial source base. I can conceive of a collaborative effort to build a library of extensions that would be universally useful for many TestComplete users. To that aim...:
So... the question:
- Who else uses script extensions in their automation structure?
- What roles do script extensions play in your automation development?
- What kinds of things would you like to see script extensions be able to do that they don't already do?
- Do you have any extensions that you think would be of universal use that you'd like to have hosted?
