Is TC able to manipulate webpage by using browser developer tool?

Hi there,

I have a test that needs to manipulate webpages, just wondering if anyone know whether TC is able to manipulate webpage by using browser developer tool? I tried to use TC to spy the objects in chrome developer tool, but it didn't allow me to.

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi,

     

    I think that such activities can be done by either modifying page markup or/and injecting additional page script code. Read this article and consider whether it can help: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/articles/embedding-scripts-into-web-pages/

    No TestComplete is not able to interact with the developer console.

     

    What are you trying to do? We might be able to help you find a way without the developer console.

      I would like to perform some suspicious activities on my test page and see if they are handled properly. For instance, making a required field to optional, or  hacking a disabled button to enabled by manipulating through the developer console, things like that.
