Scheduling TestComplete Keyword Tests with Microsoft Task Scheduler
Hello, I am trying to schedule my TestComplete keyword tests to run automatically when I am out of the office. After doing some research, it seems as though Microsoft Task Scheduler can help me achieve this goal. However, I am relatively new to TestComplete, and was wondering if anyone could provide me with more clarity on this process. Thank you.Bullet Proof Design Disscussion
In general I am looking at discussingmethods for handlingerror situations and recovering so I can complete a string of tests ending with a list of tests that passed and those that failed instead of stopping the test run on any error. I know how to enable this feature and how to control it on a perKWT and per command basis. The problem is error and event handling. I do a little scripting but not much. I have not implemented any sort of event or error handlingas of yet. I am working with an application with a database backend. In many cases if a test fails it may leave the data in an odd state which will cause subsequent tests to fail, produce false positives or crash the app. The foundation will be a good name map. My thoughts are to get all of my objects mapped and leave the name map as close to the object map as possible. Then I would simplify the alias mapas much as possible tomake my keyword tests easier to read. Only after this point would I being writing tests. I plan on implementing some new approaches on my next project. Here's to a productive discussion! Thanks all!
Is there any kind of functionality to skip test items/unnecessary waits (I.e. Alt+Right/Ctrl+Right)?
My company only uses one license for TestComplete that I watch over and since I already am watching the tests I was wondering if there was any functionalitywith TestComplete (I.e. a shortcut command, Dedicated button, or option) that would allow me to skip test steps without adding extra code? (Unfortunately I know very little in terms for/with coding)I ask because sometimes our site runs slower thanusual, usually after posts and it has effected my testing, I had to input a bunch of wait commands (which is great, but not always needed on each page) but I cannot tell ahead of time when ill need to disable/enable them to smoothen test times. If anyone knows a simple command or way to skip test items or an unneeded wait, any assistance/knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
