Global Items in TestComplete
Every project has his Stores, NameMapping, TestedApps etc in a Project Suite project scoped. My idea is, that if you have a common objects that can be re-used by multiple projects, recordings, name mapping objects, instead of having to re-import them for every project in your suite, you have the option to also have them globally to be shared over the various projects instead of on project level. Example: Project A -> user recordings, namemapping from base solution Project B --> user recordings, namemapping from base solution What it could be: If you use global namemapping, user recording that your projects digest, then you only have to update/modify them in one place, instead of all your projects. I do would have the option still to have project scoped, namemapping, recordings etc next to the globally ones.Project suite - Global recordings
Consider the following scenario: -A base solution, created with various recording that can be re-used by other solutions. Let's take an example, Login recording for example. -A solution C, which has a project that already uses some reference recordings, like the Login Recording from the base solution. When you create another project in solution C and want to re-use the already referenced Login Recording of the project that was there initially, for the new test plan for the newly created project this is not possible when you drag and try to drop the Login recording into the new test plan. TestComplete wouldn't allow it. Now you have to add reference the same Login recording from the base solution again in your new project, whilst it is already referenced in the project that was there before. Hence you have now two times the same recording from the base solution referenced for different projects in your solution. I would go for something like project suite referenced recordings, which are only referenced one time, and can be re-used by different projects/testplans in your solution without the need to add the same recording each time for every project in your solution.
Need Headless option for uploading the file from File explorer by clicking upload button in the UI.
By clicking upload button in the UI, it will open the file explorer and by giving the path of the file and select the file and click open via headless mode should be required. Kindly look into it and provide the valid solution.Referenced recordings overview
In TestComplete, you can reference recording/import recordings from other solution. Would be handy to have some mechanism in place where you have an overview from which solution these referenced recordings originate from. Currently only the option, show in file explorer is shown.
Add support for testing in multiple instances of the same desktop app
According to the support team there is currently no way to test in multiple instances of the same application. For example, consider a test where you launch multiple instances of Visual Studio and start debugging an application in each instance. If you try to record this test, it records all the operations as if there is once instance of Visual Studio - there is no way to differentiate between them. So when you play the test back, it chooses one instance and tries to execute all operations in that one instance, which fails. In order to automate this test case you would need to be able to specify "In instance 0, do this" and "In instance 1, do that".
testcomplete feature Intelligent Quality Add Ons
Is there a way of making testcomplete to recognize objects without using the Intelligent Quality Add Ons. Scenario: I screen recording a step where it need to click a button right lets say the object name is Aliases.mainwindow.button. when i re-run the script it does recognize the button anymore and i dont know why but I check again the button it changes to Aliases.mainwindow2.button now. With the Intelligent Quality Add Ons feature it works, but that feature is expensive. Is there a way i can work without using that feature, any module or method i can use.
Issue with retrieving text from listbox items in desktop win32 application
Hi All, I have a listbox object type item in my desktop application , which is in a table structure while trying to retrieve the text in the table i am getting error "Failed to retrieve text, because the items are owner-drawn.The list box is not of the LBS HASSTRINGS style. More information can be found in the MSDN library. The witem, witemList and wSelectedItems methods will return an empty string " in the wSelectedItems property.Any idea how we can fix this issue"Problems with the Object Spy #Desktop C#."
Good afternoon TestComplete community, I'm working with a development team where we're having trouble combining both codes. On a machine running Windows 10, it captures the object in a very different way from how it does on my machine with Windows 11. I need help. Thank you very much
