Automating using TestComplete

During Diwali, few of my friends discussed about the UFT automation tool and asked me to provide my review on any other tool which can be used for desktop, web and mobile automation. Hence I thought of writing this post on Smart bear - Test Complete.

One of my project required quicker automation to support desktop and web automation at the same time hence we reviewed the Test Complete and created the regression automation suite.

Test complete  supports JavaScript, Python, VB Script, JScript, Delphi Script, C++Script, and C#Script to create tests, however we decided to use VB Script and keyword driven framework.

 Test complete comes with Jenkins plugin which is helpful to create regression automation suite for continuous integration and delivery (CI and CD).

Another feature we liked about the tool is integration with Tortoise Subversion. The SVN is widows integrated versioning tool.

Test Complete provides built in test visualizer to capture the screenshots and object run time properties. This feature helps to understand the run time behavior of application feature.

In addition to the available plugins we can build our own plugins to support various applications. We can also create our own customized check points to verify if application with changes is working as expected.

Test Complete allows to run multiple test at the same time for desktop, web and mobile applications.

The last but definitely not the least part of tool is reporting capabilities. Test complete generates informative and easy to understand reports. We can create custom reports easily.

This automation tool for me is very easy to use tool with lot of inbuilt features and  add ins.

Keep Exploring!
