Which script language is better?

[nwang66]

Hello, 



    Most my tested applications are developed in C#.Net. So when I created my project suite and projects, I selected C# Script. I found many TC users on this forum are using VBscript. Are there any differences between VBscript and C# script in TestComplete? Which one do you recommend?

    Thanks a lot!

I know the script language doesn't depend on my tested application's programming language. TestComplete supports five languages. Selecting which language really depends on QA's experiences or the company's policy. I am just wondering which language that most TC QAs are using. If not considering Connected or Self-Testing Application, obviously it's better to select a script language that has a large number of users. Then it will be easy to share experiences and get sample code...



Any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks!

Hello Nancy,

You can find a relevant discussion here:

Please note that C#Script is not the best choice until you are going to move your scripts into a Connected Application.

Alex,



     Thank you very much for the information!



     I really should ask this question 6 months ago. Right now all my projects are written in C# Script... if I can re-select, I probably select JScript. However, if C# Script is base on JScript, and only difference is dot notation and interop notation ([]), then it doesn't worth to take time to re-write my projects to JScript, right?



    Thanks again!

Hello Nancy,

Actually, you can execute C#Script scripts in a JScript project and vice versa. The only difference is the syntax that will be used during the script recording.
