Hi gdave
I suggest a couple of things:
- Get signed up for this month's free training mentioned at this link. It's a monthly webinar and that will help you get started with TestComplete. https://support.smartbear.com/training/
- For designing your test, first you need to figure out exactly what you would do if you were testing it manually. You'll be using TestComplete to execute the same steps that you would be if you were controlling the mouse/keyboard, so it's important to have those steps clear before you start.
It's difficult for anyone to give you sample code of a general thing like "run a batch job". We all have different environments under test and it's rare that any of us have exactly the same thing to test. That being said, once you get started and are trying some things, if you get stuck, we can probably get you unstuck!
Welcome!
