After that, the CEF part of the application was correctly recognized by TestComplete, and the Object Spy tool was able to catch individual Cef elements.

     

     

    To run the Tested Application from the script, just use the TestedApps.AppName.Run() command (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/tested-apps/running.html)
