Ability to copy project files to slave selectively
It would be nice where to be able to selectively copy project files down to the slave pc. For example, instead of copying down the whole project I would be able copy down a directory or file. This would save a lot of time being that it sometimes takes close to 5 minutes to copy down project to slave.
Visual Studio Integration - Include Test Complete Tests as part of Visual Studio Load Tests
Visual Studio enterprise allows us to create Load Teststo performance test our application. This achieved by creating a series of Web Performance Test scripts and then creating a Load Test setup to distribute the scripts and user load in a controlled manner. (Fig 1) Currently Test Completes support integration with Visual Studio where Test complete scripts can be run via a Visual Studio controller and Test Agent config. But this is limited to only running Test complete tests one by one (Like a regression test suite). Unfortunately a Test Complete script which is in a Visual Studio project cannot be run via the Visual Studio Load Test setup as it does not recognise Test Complete scripts. You get the below error when tying to add the test to a load test config (Fig 2) The reason why Test Complete comes in handy for load tests is because some applications depend on processing in the client end before displaying the results in the GUI (something like a thick client). The time taken for this processing would not be captured via middle tier simulation supported by Visual Studio. Business critical systems which require transaction performance monitored release by release will benefit from the ability to include Test complete scripts in a Visual Studio Load Test as it will allow us to create background "Load" via Visual Studio scripts and monitor real life End to end transaction performance under load via a series of Test complete scripts which run as part of the load test.[Poll] Do we like to preserve the Synchronization Point functionality of TestComplete?
What's New section for just released TC 14.74 contains a notification that support for the Network Suite functionality is going to be discontinued. Network Suite contains a great functionality of Synchronization Point that is essential for concurrent testing of any application (desktop/mobile/web). This functionality is going to be removed as it is a part of the Network Suite. I think that without Synchronization Point it will be impossible to do concurrent testing with TestComplete and thus would like to ask to preserve it in this or that form.
Add the PCoIP protocol to the Network Suite / Distributed Testing
It would be great to add the PCoIP protocol as a connection possibility to the Network Suite/Distributed Testing. At the moment only connection options with RDP are available. Benefits of which i could think of: - Support of certain ressource analysis/monitoring tools - More "realistic" setup, as the VM would be connected over a view broker/server (though probably there won'tbe any large difference in performance for example) The only way to make this work until now (that I know of) is to open a session with a zero client and set the connection type in the Network Suite to "Manual", but then obviously all VM's need to run from a physical client.
Project Suite Home Page
TestComplete has its own HomePage... Contains links to recents Projects etc.. Please ADD a way of allowing each Project Suite to have a Home Page / 'read me' page? We need to have a page that links Exectution Prerequsits, Project Jiras, Confluence pages, Test Info etc.. At the moment I've had to include a Manual Testing Project (Defaulted) and added Test Case with this info...
