Accelerating 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.Test Complete Hiearchy setup
Hello ! Its a little bit of an odd question but maybe someone could guide me or give me some feedback. So currently i have it setup like this (as shown in picture) 1. Folder: Application (Libraries) EngineData - Testcase (Holds all the test cases inside of it) But this way ^ is split up into groups inside of the test case -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Folder: Application (Libraries) Folder: Tested function (EngineData) Testcase Testcase Testcase -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number 2 is more readable BUT, will not be created in order since test complete will sort them in the project explorer within the folder in alphabetic order + i am unable to execute the whole folder in the correct order. I will need to execute the testcase one by one if i wanna manually check it through. Is there any other better way to do this perhaps?How To: Read data from the Windows Registry
Hello all, I have recently learned how to retrieve data from the Windows registry in JavaScript test units. I am using this to return the OS information and application path information. This is very useful when added to the EventControl_OnStartTest event code. This will allow you to return OS information and other needed data at each test run. Some test management systems may provide this information for you or it may be logged in the in data produced in a pipeline run. This will embed the information directly into your test log. SmartBear KB Links: Storages Object Storages Object Methods Storages.Registry Method Section Object Get SubSection Method This bit of code will return the Product Name and Current Build from the registry. This location may vary between OS's so you will want to check this with RegEdit. let Section = Storages.Registry("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT", HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE); let regKeyString = Section.GetSubSection("CurrentVersion").Name; let productIdString = Storages.Registry(regKeyString, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 1, true).GetOption("ProductName", ""); let currentBuildString = Storages.Registry(regKeyString, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 1, true).GetOption("CurrentBuild", ""); Log.Message("Windows Version: " + productIdString + " Build: " + currentBuildString ) I have also found the need to find and set an application path and work folder in the project TestedApp for running through a pipeline because the pipeline deploys the application to a non-standard path. let Section = Storages.Registry("SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\<_yourSectionName>\\", HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE); let regKey = Section.GetSubSection(<_yourSubSectionName>).Name; let Path = Storages.Registry(regKey, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 0, true).GetOption("", ""); let WorkFolder = Storages.Registry(regKey, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 0, true).GetOption("Path", ""); let appIndex = TestedApps.Find(<_yourAppName>); if (appIndex >= 0){ if(TestedApps.Items(<_yourAppName>).Path != Path){ TestedApps.Items(<_yourAppName>).Path = Path } if(TestedApps.Items(<_yourAppName>).WorkFolder != WorkFolder){ TestedApps.Items(<_yourAppName>).Params.ActiveParams.WorkFolder = WorkFolder; } } else{ Log.Error("TestedApp " + <_yourAppName> + " does not Exist.") Runner.Stop(true); } I hope you find these links and code examples as useful as I have! Have a great day!
release 15.59.7.7 cannot detect embeded chromium content
Tests started to fail on web related tests after upgrade to 15.59.7.7. It cannot detect web or embedded chromium content although Testcomplete web module licence is connected. *Logout and login did not help. *Downgrade the testcomplete to 15.41.9.7, Left the Testexecute on 15.59.7.7. * Testcomplete could detect web and embeded chromium content., tests run successful with testcomplete, but problem remain when running the same tests with test execute. * Downgrade the test execute alto to release 15.41.9.7, all worked back again. Note: did not touch project or any settings at any point and it was already working before the upgrade, so downgrading resolved.changing dropdown menu field for every testing
Hi Guys, what I want the system to do: I will check a field, it is a dropdown menu, and if this field is for example A, I should select another option for example B for this field from the dropdown list. Or if this field is B I should change it to A so how can I do it with scripting? Do you have an idea? I could have not found the correct codes for this:( For example in one test the field contains A and you should change it to B, than for the next time the field is B and you should change it to A.
