TestComplete plugin on VS Code
I like Testcomplete and all it's features, however, when needing to write code it is a bit of a pain (intellisense, styling, code completion, indenting, etc., all do not work well). Instead of coding in Testcomplete, can we add support in VS Code for development and execution? Still have it tied to the license and no need for namemapping, at least not right away, so we can take advantage of a smoother ide. I currently use python with TestComplete.Re: Namemapping and Python support
I see TestLeft more of an alternative to Testcomplete. It is geared towards those with a preference for oop structures. Do you know if SmartBear plans to add Python as a support language for TestLeft? Most of my QEs have experience with Python, however, they prefer an oop instead of scripting with TestComplete. Using a framework like TestLeft with Visual Studio and Python would increase it's usage among my team.Namemapping and Python support
I am interested in using TestLeft, however, I am sceptical about TestLeft being a good replacement for my companies legacy TestComplete project. Most of our QEs have experience coding with Python but hate the script coding style of Testcomplete. They prefer to use an OOP design pattern but Testcomplete makes it difficult without intellisense. TestLeft would allow us to use VS 2019, but we are not certain if it supports Python. Also, we hope to keep the namemapping feature as it has made quick work of automating our legacy desktop applications. Does TestLeft bring the namemapping feature to Visual Studio? And does it support Python as the coding language?Allow OOP coding with full intellisense in Testcomplete
I understand that Testcomplete is a scripting language and some use the tool for automation script development with "record & playback", however, it would be much appreciated have the option of developing using a oop design patterns. Python and JavaScript are powerful languages. By relegating them to a script code style is stripping away their best features. Those that use JavaScript and Python for automation are using them with selenium which does not have a great way to automate desktop applications. By allowing users to choose to develop oop code with the namemapping features, Testcomplete can work as the preferred IDE for automation.
