Re: TestComplete Enterprise Vs Selenium
I welcome the newest integrations that are advertised in TC 10.5 and I am looking forward to start exerienting them. I agree with chris , my reason for staying with TestComplete when starting automation for a completely new product were very similar. Beside other things, it allows us to combine experienced developers (but not testers) with experienced testers (but not developers) to produce a robust automated solution. CHRIS LAVENTURE16KViews2likes0CommentsRe: getting advantage of test report summary while running subset of tests from command line
Hello the two questions are somewhat related. TestComplete offers a nice reporting tool including summary with some basic stats, graph etc. (That was, in fact, one of the deciding point for me to use the tool, we code everything otherwise ourselves) However, to get such summary one needs to run the entire test suite with the test items structured as per:http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55015/?aliaspath=/viewarticle and requires us to add tests as test items manually ( as per another forum discussion) From the command line, one can execute the entire test suite and in that case, the summary page is available. With all other options available in:http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55587/?aliaspath=/viewarticle it seems that the a) summary page is not available and b) it is impossible to execute a "group of test items", unless I am missing something. At the moment, I ask our test developers to add manually each test into a specific group of test items for the project as well as into a method that allows us to execute just a specific group of tests. This may introduce additional errors once we have more tests and more test developers I need a flexibility of executing all tests in a project or certain groups of tests depending on a requirement. Ideally I would like to do it all programatically and still take advantage of the reporting tool that TestComplete has to offer. Note, that I do not want to introduce separate projects for each requirement as some of the tests overlap and common libraries are used ( for the common libraries the plan is to introduce extensions eventually, but the team and our project is not mature enough just yet ) Please, let me know, if more explanation is needed. A possible user case is: As a user I would like to combine existing tests any way I want, exdecute these combinations and get the full test report with summary and stats for it.730Views1like0Commentsgetting advantage of test report summary while running subset of tests from command line
Hi, is it possible to get the advantage of test report summary that Test Complete has to offer when running only subset of tests? Also, is it possible to execute one group or groups of test items from comand line?1KViews0likes3CommentsRe: How to add TestItem programatically
Thanks Tanya Do people organize tests really manually to get the advantage of stats and the summary or am I missing something? At the moment I have set of tests using individual folders to store the results, so, that satisfies my needs, however I did not find a way to get the summary that TestComplete povides other than manually organizing the TestItems. Is there any other way to get the same summary? With older versions of TestComplete and differen framework we ended up developing our own solution. I really like what TestComplete offers in terms of reporting and would like to take advantage of it.2.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How to add TestItem programatically
Hi Tanya do you have an idea where this feature will be included in the product? I found the reporting that is currently available in TestComplet quite useful and there seems to be no need for us to develop our own at this time. However I found close to impossible to manually modify TestItems every time we add a test.2.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Is there a way to organize Test Project into "physical" folders on the harddrive?
The problem with that approach is that the actual "physical" structure is lost in the "Project Explorer" itself. All one can see there is the actual script file, not where it lives. The above was actually a reason why I do not like an idea of having a separate "projects" for individual components. The structure seems to be lost when I want to share it I am sure, my reasoning behind the request is quite common as I believe, any automated framework will have a structure similar to: common components for all "test suites" components common to an individual test suite individual tests in a test suite Ideas?1.2KViews0likes0CommentsIs there a way to organize Test Project into "physical" folders on the harddrive?
Hello ideally I would like to see the following structure:http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55278/ on my harddrive In other words, folders created in Project Explorer are just logical and will not be created on the harddrive While logical organization is helpful when working in Project Explorer, it does not show the obvious organization on the harddrive, nor helps me when generating doxygen documentation for example. Is there a way to have a "physical organization" of the project as well In the past I had common components in extensions and individual project suites used them, but I do not want to exercise this approach in my new framework just yet.Solved2.1KViews0likes3CommentsRe: How to add TestItem programatically
Thanks a lot. It will really help. With projects with many testcases it is unrealistic to manage everything manually and stay up-to-date all the time. On the other hand without having test cases organized, the LogItem.Status is not very useful. Thanks again for adding it to your TODO list2.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How to add TestItem programatically
Example of what I would like to do using scripts is:http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55015/#Working Here is some reasoning: When I was using ODT approach it was done more less automatically and for the rest of the logging we used internally developed logging tool. At this point I am exploring what newest version of TestComplete logging and error reporting has to offer and perhaps use that insted of developing our internal reporting and error handling. Some of the readonly properties of the TestItem seem to be quite useful, but for that I have to have a very precise project TestItem structure. And I really do not want to do it manually. I am sure there is an easy solution that I am not aware of and a hope was somebody clever can help me with this2.2KViews0likes0Comments
