importing function from javascript to keyword test
Attempting to use require("MyCommonUnit").myFunction("someparameter") within a keyword test statement such as Set Variable Value Seems like this should work, but returns an error: Unable to evaluate the operation's "NewValue" parameter. Error: Error: Unable to find the specified module In my script I have the following: // [MyCommonUnit] module.exports.myFunction = some_function; function some_function() { //does stuff return someValue; } Anyone have an idea why this doesn't work or perhaps an alternate method to use?Re: TestComplete Beta Program: Try AI-Driven Visual Testing!
I don't usually get excited about things, nor do I hand out compliments as often as I probably should, but I must say this: This new OCR AI driven testing is amazing. This will allow me to expand on existing framework to quickly add visual based testing scripts. AMAZING! Keep up the good work!Re: Who does your Automated Testing? QA or Development?
Monkeys and Robots usually. Sometimes we just think of something that needs to be automated and a script appears. Sometimes a more advanced civilization from the stars will visit us and automate our processes. Seriously though QA does this at my current and former places of employment. At former job my wife was involved with generating scripts, and still is. (she has no programming experience) I created the framework there that she uses it to this day. My current job I wrote the initial framework and other QA assist with updating it as needed (all QA here have OOP experience). Primarily they are focused on created scripts. Much like all projects it's important to recognize the individual strengths of your team members if you want to succeed. I say this because many times it is overlooked. For example: I enjoy designing the framework, writing code, and maintaining that code. I do not enjoy writing excel spreadsheets, populating data, etc.. My wife enjoys writing excel spreadsheets, populating data, etc.. My wife hates writing code, learning code, and designing processes or framework. We could fight all day long every day about who should be involved in what, but instead it has worked very well to simply allow people to do what they are good at, and what they are interested in. In my current position I have been working to engage developers in our automated QA, but I also recognize that it is not something they are overly interested in. And that's OK for me. I simply need them to have realistic expectations and ideas about what can and cannot be automated; For them to be available when a solution is required at the application level and not within Test Complete.Re: Testcomplete launches some application by default
"it appears to be Superfetch that launches these apps" Not exactly. These apps are pre-cached in memory by the Superfetch service to increase performance. It may or may not be that Test Complete "refreshing" processes stored in cached memory causes these apps to wake from their dormant state. I would still recommend updating Windows 10 if not already done. As you can see from my previous post this is an issue for Windows 10 users who do not have Test Complete installed.
