TestComplete/TestExecute Drop-downs
Good morning,
I am testing our config tool here at EMS and we have an issue with testing in TestComplete/TestExecute
The problem appears to stem from Drop-down boxes/Combo boxes with a number of discrete values, thus:
Enable
Disable
Timed
Now the issue is that values are changed in our tests, however there is a time-lag of up to several seconds before the item changes, due to communication between the config tool and some hardware, and manifests itself in a test recorded with TestComplete not correctly playing-back in either TestComplete or TestExecute (version 12.50)
If you perform the same operation by hand and simply wait the 5 seconds or so, everything works fine, however playing back with SmartBear TestComplete or TestExecute results in the value flipping back to its original value instead of changing.
I am wondering how I can approach testing this in TestComplete/TestExecute?
One factor, possibly, is that no items in the Cell Grid (see attached screenshot) is named, and I have been informed by someone who is a tester that all fields should be named to aid/enable testing.
Grateful for your thoughts
Regards
David Woods
