Command Line and Collapsible Script Methods
Request 1: As of now, I have faced problems in passing variables from command line to TestComplete. So, if I would like to have a single suite, working for different regions/environments, and execute them from command line, I don't get an option to pass PARAMETERS to my Project or Project Suite. Consider having to work on 5 environments. When i evoke TC execution, I would like to pass arguments to my Project/Project Suite (can be said as Project or Project Suite Test Parameters). This will ease my work in simply passing my arguments for environments and other static data, which will accordingly execute my scripts with the correct configurations. Request 2: Another request, which I would want across all automation tools - Give a feature to collapse methods. It's quite tiring to go through the our scripts to find a method. I know, we can find it using the drop down, but it's not always that easy - It's hard to move up and down, with that much of code on the block. A similar approach like we have in Visual Studio - the ease of programming and maintenance just gets better.Re: Read/Write to multiple files Excel/DB
HKosova I am aware of excel COM objects. Using it with scripts is fine, but i was looking for an inbuilt option (similar to what UFT has). As of today, I can read data from excel/db using Project Variables or DDT driver, but this does not allow two way communications - and this is the problem statement i am referring to :). These are good options and inbuilt within TC, but support one way handling and DDT sometimes gives issues with multiple excel file. Having an inbuilt metgod will ease the work and can e used intelligently (say similar to stores, we can have testdata store) :D3.2KViews0likes0CommentsRead/Write to multiple files Excel/DB
As of now, one feature i find lacking is Reading/Writing to Excel via TestComplete. This feature is very much required for automation, specially when you plan to create your own frameworks and want to drive automation via Excel. Also, it'll be more handy to load a single Excel file, and at runtime have provision to access different sheets for reading/writing data into + able to work with multiple excel files.3.8KViews1like5CommentsRefresh Method
Hi, I am new to test complete. On reading the documents, i came across TestObj.Refresh method to refresh the existing cache during execution. I am a little confused with this. When and why would i need this? To improve performance of my scripts, how do we decide when to use it and when not? Say, i have two comboboxes, combo1 and combo2. Now, if i select some values in combo1, combo2 values are loaded accordingly. Do i need to refresh objects after selecting combo1 value??? I am coming from QTP background, and we never used a Refresh option there, so kind of a little confused with this option in Testcomplete. My team has used it for almost every object after performing an operation, which to me should not be the right way. There has to be a good reasoning to use it. Your help will be appreaciated. ~Thanks, Anubhav21KViews0likes3Comments
