TestComplete is prepending to the PATH when it launches and breaks/blocks our users Python installs
We have several users that are experiencing the following: Python 3.14 installed in default location Python added to PATH TestComplete launches and prepends its own Python to the PATH and causes users tests to run. I need to stop TC from adding to the PATH when it launches. Thanks in advance. Mark
TestComplete support for Delphi 13 desktop application with DevExpress VCL 25.2 or newer
Hello, We are evaluating TestComplete for automated GUI testing of a Windows desktop application developed in Delphi. Our application stack is: Delphi 13 / RAD Studio 13 VCL desktop application DevExpress VCL components version 25.2 or newer Main controls used in the application include TcxGrid / QuantumGrid, TcxTreeList, TcxButton, TcxTextEdit, TcxComboBox, TdxRibbon and TdxBarManager We would like to confirm whether TestComplete officially supports testing desktop applications built with Delphi 13 and DevExpress VCL 25.2 or newer. In the TestComplete documentation, we found information about extended support for Developer Express VCL controls, but the listed supported versions appear to go only up to DevExpress VCL 21.1.x.
Migrating Desktop Automation Tests from CodedUI to TestComplete
Hi all, I’m looking for advice on quickly migrating a suite of desktop automation test cases from CodedUI (C#) to TestComplete. Specifically: 1. Does TestComplete have any inbuilt MCP/feature or migration wizard for this? 2. Are there any third-party tools, agents, or AI solutions that can help automate the migration? Additional context: 1. My test suite covers ~200 tests for a WPF application, with heavy use of data-driven logic and custom controls. 2. I plan to use JavaScript for scripting in TestComplete. 3. Main challenges: migrating complex UIMaps and parameterized tests. Any insights, best practices, or references to migration guides would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Recreating steps to "refresh" or speedup projects
Hi, Our testers were complaining about slow operation in TestComplete12. We upgraded the project to Testcomplete 15 and the projects were again working faster and testers stopped complaining. Project folder size didn't matter. However, after a few months the sluggishness returned and we began to see slowdowns similar as in TC12. Does anybody know what actions are performed when upgrading TC12 to 15? We tried namemapping defragmentation, reserialization of keyword tests, AppData folder Smartbear. Deleting tcCfgExtender file also didn't help.oba All on TC15 after upgrade. So we are at a dead end as to what causes the project to run faster for a period of time. Thank you in advance for all your answers or suggestions.The EXCEL.EXE process crashed. Exception code: 0xC0000409.

I have this little beast... The name of this is: Aliases.java.bufferedframeOciDev1RemoteSiteTc.windowFormsCashDrawerNumberIs542.buttonbar.ClickItem("OK"); The next time I run this test it will be named: Aliases.java.bufferedframeOciDev1RemoteSiteTc.windowFormsCashDrawerNumberIs543.buttonbar.ClickItem("OK"); I have tried several ways of replacing '543' with the var drawerNo, but then the object isn't found. If I do var winName = windowFormsCashDrawerNumberIs + drawerNo The object still can't be found. How can I get TC to recognize this window when it's name changes each time I run the test? I've recorded a keyword test several times, converted it to a script (JS) and made adjustments with no luck.Passing Parameters from DevOps to Test Complete
Hi, We are using on-prem DevOps Server 2020 Update 1.2 and Test Complete 15.81.7. I have created a simple Test Case in DevOps: That is supposed to pass the username and password to an automated test in Test Complete. The Test Case has a linked automated test in Test Complete and is run via a teat Suite / Test Plan and a pipeline. Does any one know how to get the parameters defined in the Test Case passed to Test Complete? Many Thanks Dave
QT - Error No such interface supported
Has anyone been able to test modern QT applications 6.7 or 6.8 and get it to work. I cannot even get the simple example applications from QT to function. According to support currently 6.7 and 6.8 are supported, but neither seem to work. Just using the object browser shows error for most items, and none of the QT related methods are even displaying or accessible. See attached image. Any one have a solution to this? **I tried to upload a small zip file that contains the QT sample app, but the forum prevents it from being uploaded.
