Accessibility Testing Made Easy: How TestComplete Ensures Web Compliance
Most test automation focuses on functionality but in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and education, teams must also prove accessibility and compliance. TestComplete’s Web Audit Checkpoints make this simple by integrating accessibility scans directly into automated tests, identifying errors like missing alt text, deprecated tags, and invalid HTML. Teams can set practical thresholds (e.g., zero critical errors, limited warnings) to balance enforcement and flexibility. This ensures every regression run checks not only if features work, but if they meet legal and usability standards. The result is faster compliance, reduced risk, and higher-quality user experiences for everyone. Check out our demo video to see how accessibility testing in TestComplete fits seamlessly into your automation pipeline and helps you build more inclusive, compliant web applications. Accessibility Testing in Testcomplete DemoSupport Current FireFox Versions
We currently are on FireFox Version 128ESR, which was released in July of 2024. When I opened a support ticket, I was informed that you only support 115esr which was release in July of 2023. This means that I'm unable to run automation on FireFox as I don't control what version of FireFox my organization uses.102Views5likes3CommentsButton with "..." not completing selection - step stops after dropdown choice (Chrome & Edge)
Hello, We are experiencing an issue when selecting buttons that open a dropdown menu - specifically the ones with "...". When TestComplete tries to click and select an option from that dropdown, it opens it and seems to pick the right step, but nothing changes afterward. It looks like the action is registered, yet the test does not continue with the next actions. Environment: Chrome 140.0.73399.208 (Official Build) (64-bit) TestComplete 15.76.5 x64 Same behavior reproduced in Edge 140.0.3485.94 (Official Build) (64-bit) Attachments: Run_Test.mp4 - playback shows TestComplete marking the step as passed (green), but the website state does not change. Has anyone seen similar behavior or a configuration/workaround that forces TestComplete to execute the actual interaction (click/selection) instead of resulting in no UI change?

This is hopefully a straightforward solution for someone out there with far more experience than I. My application has rows inside a parent element. Each row is segmented so it also appears to have columns. I need to get all the "add user" buttons that are in a 'column' together in one array and loop through it. Roughly <div> <row 1> <stuff I dont need> <button I do need> <row 2> <stuff I dont need> <button I do need> <row 3> <stuff I dont need> <button I do need> </div> I believe the FindAll or FindAllChildren is the correct route but I am getting empty arrays returned. The buttons all have the same text "Add User" and are SPAN elements (not actually a button element). The buttons are all in the rows as I described and are contained in one parent DIV that wraps around all the rows. (Unfortunately not the column). This is close to what I have without sharing exact code: let column = page.FindElement("//div[contains(@class, 'random-css')]"); Log.Message(column.FindAllChildren("SPAN", "Add User", 300000)) >> returns null Thank youSolved47Views0likes5CommentsWeb recording - multiple chars recorded and mouse-clicks not recorded
To reproduce: [1] Go to https://bearstore-testsite.smartbear.com/ [2] Create a login/password if you don't already have one: MyUserTest5/MyPasswordTest5 [3] Record a new test [4] Enter login/password [5] Click on the Log in button [6] Stop recording Result: The record test will show something like: For Login - "MmmmyUseeeeerTTTTTest555" For Password - "MMMy" Playback is wonky too, like mouse-clicks going to odd places on the page This started on or just before May 5th of this year, 2025: * WebView2 version 136 * On the Edge Browser, and now recently on the Chrome Browser * TestComplete version 15.69 and then 15.77 Windows has continued to update WebView2 and there has been no change of behavior. SmartBear said they reproduced the issue but has not provided a workaround or a fix. I verified my TestComplete plug-in is valid in the browser. I have used TestComplete desktop full-time for 13 years and the Web tool for two years, and love it. They have always had quick fixes for me until now. This one is debilitating. Got any ideas? I'm not seeing many current posts on TestComplete Web. Is anyone even using it????Solved73Views0likes9CommentsParallel testing for web tests
Hi, is there a way to execute Test Complete web tests in parallel within the same machine, by opening the needed browser instances and execute in each one the needed test? For example, I've got test_1 and test_2, both developed for Edge browser, and they're indipendent one from each other from functionality point of view, that is: I could execute them in parallel without any disturbance between both. Is there a way that I can execute test_1 and test_2 with 2 browser instances in the same time? The scope is to save time by half for tests' execution. I'm available to try a solution both through AzureDevOps release pipeline changes or test project changes. I've searched for documentation within Test Complete but I've found for now only information regarding executing parallel tests within different machines, but it is not my scope, since I need to execute them within the same machine. Thanks and regards, SimonaSolved70Views0likes2CommentsDon't update Chome to v140
For those of you that didn't follow this ticket: Chrome minimizes and reopens every on screen action | SmartBear Community When Chome v139 came out TC stopped working with Chome (and edge). This was fixed in TC v15.77.6. Now Chrome updated again to v140, Testcomplete v15.77.6 does not work with Chome again. If you updated Chome already i recommend downgrading Chrome back to v138 or v139.396Views4likes14CommentsChrome minimizes and reopens every on screen action
We're experiencing an issue where for every on screen action Chrome minimizes and reopens. I created a brand new test suite and wrote a simple test navigating around the smartbear site and we are still running into this issue. We can't run tests because every time we open a dropdown it goes away when chrome minimizes and re opens. We've been on TC version 15.75.22.7 for two months with no problems. (Waiting on IT to upgrade TC to latest version to see if that helps) Chrome did just update to version 139.0.7258.67. I have opened a case with support but wondering if anyone else has run into this issue with the latest chrome update. Thanks in advanceSolved1.2KViews7likes45CommentsTC\TE - ObjectSpy issue with latest MS Edge 138.0.3351.121
Just checking to see if others experience this issue. For the most part, the rest of the products I automate and their frameworks do not have this issue. I have one product, that does not change that must from developer changes. It has always worked until a few months back when ... Scripts that worked previously are failing due to TC\TE unable to penetrate the webpage to find the web elements as usual. Scripts can log into the application, but from there ... ObjectSpy can only outline the outer boundary. Manually going into Object Browser with the web page open, I can see and go the the page objects (highlight on screen) that the test script should be finding when running the script. But since not able to penetrate the web page and ObjectSpy red line outlines the outer panel, the value I am trying to enter into a text box jumps up to the MS Edge URL section. I have uninstalled/re-installed the latest TC\TE to verify issue still exists. TestExecute extention is in the Edge browser. I know MS Edge updated around this time period. This is issue is not encountered with Chrome, just MS Edge ? I had opened an IT ticket for this and worked with support, but no solution came from it. I am thinking of switching to using Chrome instead of MS Edge, but this issue bugs me for why it stopped working. I continue to try different things from day to day. This issue has killed my automation for this product. Suggestions? Has this issue been reported from others, and work-around or patches available?47Views0likes2Comments
