Alternative for TestRecorder. Does it exist?

Is it possible to intercept user actions? Is there an alternative view of the possibility of recording the test?

  • Hi Evgeniy,


    If the recording features provided by TestRecorder or TestComplete or both do not suit your needs, please let us know your requirements - we can probably add them to our DB as a product improvement idea.

    Hi!

    Here's my wish:

    it would be good to combine the result of writing the script in the environment TestRecorder and execution of it with TestExecuter.
  • Hi Evgeniy,


    Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your request. Could you please describe the needed functionality in detail?

    Hi Allen


    I'll try to explain in more detail in the form of a sequence of desired actions:

    1) Run TestRecorder from my application

    2) Save it to file (not creating a project, or the ability to insert it into an existing project)

    3) In the same application run it using TestExecuter

    I would also like to search ("findchild" and others) child objects can be done using the logical "OR". For example that I can find and "button" and "text box indicating the two classes in the search parameters. An example of course is not quite correct, but I hope you understand me.
  • Hi Evgeniy,


    Thank you for describing your requests in detail.

    You can import TestRecorder binaries in TestComplete projects only via TestComplete, because TestComplete is the only application which is supposed to be used to create/modify test projects. As for executing existing tests with TestExecute from a third-party application, note that you can use the application's command line (see the "TestExecute Command Line" help topic ( http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=2080 ) for more information) or COM object (see the "Working With TestExecute via COM" help topic ( http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=2090 ) for more information) in order to accomplish this. BTW, we have a sample C# application which demonstrates how you can work with TestComplete and TestExecute via COM, and I can provide you with the sample application if you contact us via our Contact Support form (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/message).

    A similar feature will be available for Name Mapping in TestComplete 8:

    Tell me please, can I use the "IMPORT" on the command line? Maybe there is some possibility? I really need the ability to import the recorded test without running TestComplete.
