Project suite - Global recordings
Consider the following scenario: -A base solution, created with various recording that can be re-used by other solutions. Let's take an example, Login recording for example. -A solution C, which has a project that already uses some reference recordings, like the Login Recording from the base solution. When you create another project in solution C and want to re-use the already referenced Login Recording of the project that was there initially, for the new test plan for the newly created project this is not possible when you drag and try to drop the Login recording into the new test plan. TestComplete wouldn't allow it. Now you have to add reference the same Login recording from the base solution again in your new project, whilst it is already referenced in the project that was there before. Hence you have now two times the same recording from the base solution referenced for different projects in your solution. I would go for something like project suite referenced recordings, which are only referenced one time, and can be re-used by different projects/testplans in your solution without the need to add the same recording each time for every project in your solution.
Need Headless option for uploading the file from File explorer by clicking upload button in the UI.
By clicking upload button in the UI, it will open the file explorer and by giving the path of the file and select the file and click open via headless mode should be required. Kindly look into it and provide the valid solution.Referenced recordings overview
In TestComplete, you can reference recording/import recordings from other solution. Would be handy to have some mechanism in place where you have an overview from which solution these referenced recordings originate from. Currently only the option, show in file explorer is shown.
Add support for testing in multiple instances of the same desktop app
According to the support team there is currently no way to test in multiple instances of the same application. For example, consider a test where you launch multiple instances of Visual Studio and start debugging an application in each instance. If you try to record this test, it records all the operations as if there is once instance of Visual Studio - there is no way to differentiate between them. So when you play the test back, it chooses one instance and tries to execute all operations in that one instance, which fails. In order to automate this test case you would need to be able to specify "In instance 0, do this" and "In instance 1, do that".
TestComplete should be able to detect elements in Microsoft WebView2 window
At present test complete is unable to detect elements in Microsoft WebView2 window. This needs to be supported since the WebClientAssist iFrame supporting IE browser becoming obsolete now and is upgraded to Microsoft WebView2 everywhere. Test Complete's inability to support these controls is limiting and impacting the automation scripts and increasing dependency on manual testing.
Unable to select the file and download from the Windchill Workspace
We are validating the TestComplete tool using Windchill PLM integrated with Creo Parametric application and we are facing an issue like, unable to select the file and download from the Windchill Workspace as the Object is NOT identified specifically for the file and rather it is getting identified as the whole window. So, we are unable to automate the file download process using Windchill - Creo. Also, as suggested by SmartBear Customer support team(Case ID: 00588909), we have tried by adding the "Wndclass" objects in the MSAA and UI Automation tool and still, the same issue exists. Also, We have added some Custom Properties related to our module in the Creo Parametric application and it does not contain any "Wndclass" objects. So, submitting this feature request to provide support for the same. OTK(Object Toolkit) is the Framework used in our application and the "Creo UI Editor" is the Control Editor used for UI in the same application.Unable to identify the Objects available in Creo Parametric application
We are validating the TestComplete tool using Creo Parametric application and we are unable to identify the necessary objects for creating and modifying a file. We have created a usecase using Record and Playback option in the Creo application and due to the Object Identification issue in any of the options, we are unable to add the validation further. Also, as suggested by SmartBear Customer support team (Case ID: 00588911), we have tried by adding the "Wndclass" objects in the MSAA and UI Automation tool and still, the same issue exists.

Support Java19+
Is there any official plan to support newer versions of Java? According to the documentation the most recent supported version is 17. We would like to upgrade our application to use Java21, but we are completely dependent on TestComplete UI tests for quality insurance. The application in question is a Java Swing desktop application.
Latest TestComplete/Execute should support DevExpress 22.2.7.0
This year, almost all products in our company has upgradedDevExpress version to22.2.7.0, we have more than 5000 UI automation test cases are running with TC/TE 14.9, then it works fine with previous devexpress version21.1.6.0, however after it was upraded to 22.2.7.0, our products will be crashed when running with TC/TE, we also tried the latest version, it didn't work, we have to ask help from Smartbear, this is a blocker issue for us, without this issue fixed, we can not run our automation, hope you can support this new version as soon as possible, thanks in advance.
