Thank you for your ongoing patience and continued partnership. Best, The TestComplete Team
Test Steps are not loading intermittently
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I and some other team members are seeing this issue. Sometimes test steps don't load and we need to refresh the test case 3-4 times. This is happening with new and existing test cases. Not seeing any Zephyr API issues that I can report.
Zephyr squad loading issue - 504 bad gateway timeout.
Since from yesterday i.e. 08/08/2023 till now Zephyr squad loading issue as not been resolved and if it access and try to edit/add new TC's, currently the update is not happening. Also if user deletes any of the test steps in middle of the TC, its not reflecting. Please look into the issue and request to resolve on priority basis.
Duplicated test steps in cloned tests in Zephyr Squad
Hi, I’m getting an issue where, if I clone a test which was cloned from another test, the test steps are sometimes duplicated. I only notice this when I save the test and go back into it. e.g. original test [10 steps] -> cloned test 1 [10 steps, works fine] -> clone of cloned test 1 [20 steps, with all steps duplicated] has anyone else seen this?
Exporting JIRA and Zephyr Field to get a complete view of test cases executions
When exporting from Zephyr into an Excel spreadsheet the only filed available are the Zephyr fields. Other JIRA filed associates with a test case like comments, description, attachment, etc. ... are not included. We need to do multiple exports from JIRA and Zephyr to get all the information we need, merge documents to get all we need in the report. Questions: is there a way to export the JIRA Field and the Zephyr Field together? Is there an add-on or apps that we can install, integrate and use that would solve the issue? Thanks for your help.
Beating SAP Testing Bottlenecks with TestComplete
Testing SAP is hard for all the familiar reasons, complex UIs, transports that tweak screens, sensitive data, and heavy audit needs. Below are the common bottlenecks and how TestComplete helps you cut through them. Fragile object locators in SAP GUI The bottleneck: SAP GUI controls can be tricky to identify reliably minor UI changes or different dynpro states can break scripts. How TestComplete helps: It provides native support for SAP GUI for Windows with extended objects (buttons, edit fields, grids, etc.), so you work with properties and methods not coordinates. Pair that with Name Mapping (a central, alias-based object repository) to make tests readable and resilient. 2) UI drift after transports equals flaky tests The bottleneck: After a support pack or transport, object properties change and tests fail even though the flow still works. How TestComplete helps: Self healing tests automatically look for close matches when an object isn’t found, reducing “false red” failures and maintenance. 3) “Hard” screens, canvas elements, or remote sessions The bottleneck: Custom controls or canvases don’t expose stable object trees. How TestComplete helps: Use AI-powered OCR (and the OCR Action in Keyword Tests) to find text on screen and create easy validation as a fallback when classic object IDs aren’t reliable. 4) Test data sprawl (pricing, partners, plants…) The bottleneck: You need many variants to cover conditions, taxes, partners, plants, and languages without hand cloning tests. How TestComplete helps: Built-in data driven testing lets you drive one test with rows from Excel/CSV/DB, multiplying coverage while keeping scripts lean. 5) Audit evidence for SOX/GxP The bottleneck: Auditors want traceable, reviewable evidence: who ran what, where it clicked, and what was on screen. How TestComplete helps: Test Visualizer captures step-by-step screenshots during record/playback; Video Recorder can capture full-run videos; detailed logs tie everything together. These are ideal for defect triage and audits. 6) CI/CD traceability (and repeatability) The bottleneck: Manual runs don’t scale; teams need runs linked to commits/builds. How TestComplete helps: Use the Jenkins plugin to trigger suites in jobs or Pipelines and view results in Jenkins, creating a clean chain of custody for each build. Final thought SAP is always changing, your tests shouldn’t break every time it does. TestComplete’s native SAP GUI support, Name Mapping, self-healing, OCR fallback, and data-driven runs help you keep testing stable and audit friendly with less maintenance. The following demo illustrates these features in practice, automating the creation of a purchase requisition within SAP while maintaining stability across UI changes. Demo: Automating Purchase Requisition Creation in SAP with TestCompleteAccelerating Quality: How TestComplete Leads in Test Creation, Execution, and Object Recognition
Temil Sanchez, the new Product Manager for TestComplete, shares insights from a recent evaluation comparing TestComplete and Ranorex. TestComplete stood out for its faster test creation, intuitive interface, and superior object recognition, which reduce maintenance and ensure robust automation. Looking ahead, the focus is on integrating AI to further accelerate test creation, enhance resilience, and help teams release quality software faster.
