Test automation of WPF-based application with TestComplete
- Identifying UI objects and application structure
- Expandability of tests through scripts and script extensions/plugins
- low barrier of entry (you can get started quickly, and other's don't need much explanation to contribute on a basic level)
- Possibility of Jira integration for reporting
- Relatively few (and usually easy to solve) git conflicts when working simultaneously
- easy handling of test data, also for iterative tests
- The documentation is lackluster in many areas and especially for scripting, script extensions, and plugins, there's a lot of copy/paste. Trying to grasp a specific aspect is often impossible in these areas and it feels like one would really have to read the documentation from start to finish to not get lost. For example, the documentation for simply expanding a keyword test with a form, so the tester can specify parameters there, is completely overblown and takes a while to be reduced to the important bits.
- The Name Mapping can be unstable when editing/renaming/moving objects and can lead to occasional crashes
- TestComplete is not fully dpi aware and can have difficulties when operating multiple screens with different resolutions, which can lead to "click" events not hitting the actual button, and the application itself can often be way too large or small when it sized itself based on a screen it is not located on.
- Mapping/interacting with objects is only possible when TestComplete can still find them after locating them. Therefore, when windows don't stay open after losing focus (by switching to TestComplete) this can be problematic, especially when trying to access elements that can not be pinpointed (either when they are not visible, have no visible representation, to begin with, or are situated below another object that blocks it)

- Auto recording is a bit too detailed.
TestComplete for Desktop application
- Repetitive mundane sequence of UI actions
- Checking UI object's properties
- Taking a lot of my time
- Name mapping is hard to edit: when the hierarchy or the identifiers properties are wrong, it can be quite painful and time-consuming to correct. Especially when it is not clear which item wrongly matches. A tool to correct such items in name mapping would be useful.
- TestComplete isn't multi user friendly, especially when using source control. Even if each user works on different tests, correcting the name mapping file only generates havoc on merge.
- KeywordTests' UX is awful: for some items, editing parameters can be done in two clicks, for others we need to click several times to display the edit button, which would be hidden by the tooltip, and then click blindly on this button.
- And then some properties can be modified in their text boxes, but other need to display the variable editor to be able to change anything.
- Region Checkpoint is mostly useless: such checkpoint would be great for verifying generated images, but then anti-aliasing will never be the same on different rendering and the checkpoint will fail. Increasing the error tolerance will then not detect real issues.
- We have redone the checkpoint by using perceptualdiff (https://github.com/myint/perceptualdiff ) and using only the Region Checkpoint feature to save the reference image (and mask). We also added the possibility to change of reference image, as testing on different graphic cards will give other subtle changes (AMD vs Nvidia).
- TestExecute is too much limited. We needed to write a tool to deploy our software on the test machine, and then change the TC project file to include or not some test. As some tests are quite flaky, we needed a redo of these, so we only select (automatically) the failed tests for doing another run.
- Exception in the test should always mark it failed, and not just discard it as it happens now in some cases.
- We needed a color checkpoint to check the display of some status indicators. Quite strange that it was missing in TC.
the word of an automation expert
- execution of projects on a remote workstation
- easy integration with various software such as jenkins
- You can load a readyApi project
- object recognition (NameMapping)
- license management
- performance
TestComplete really is your Complete Test package.
- Windows application testing
- Integrates well with other SmartBear products and bug tracking tools
- Web testing
- Mobile testing
- Licensing for automated build machines can be a bit frustrating to configure with the cloud.
- configuration for multiple environments requires some homebrew thinking
It has increased speed by delivery (record/playback, reusability of scripts), automation made simpler(manual testers/anybody can use it with no skillset), and delivery of the quality customers want (AI features helps you correct and detect potential issues).
- Scriptless record/playback, ample language support (JavaScript, Python, Delphi,VB,Jscript,C++,C#), conversion of keywords, test to scripts, reusability of scripts.
- Self-healing of test cases with new AI feature(IQ), intelligent fix of errors and warnings, PDF support, BDD framework(Cucumber and HipTest), latest integration with BitBar, Azure Develops, Zephyr for Jira.
- Excel checkpoints, public documentation, user friendly Interface
- 24/7 support from resellers and Smart Bear. More performance and less memory
- Integrates with bug tracking tools(Jira, Zephyr, Bugzilla) Report Generation -Junit, Allure, MHT.
- Object recognition should be improved for better recognition of third-party / custom controls.
- It supports only Windows OS. It should support MAC, Unix/Linux so that we can automate these OS's apps.
I want to give only 9 because it needs some improvement in object recognition on custom/third-party controls, automation on mainframe apps, stability, scalability.
TestComplete Easy and Robust
- Easy to use. Even no technical tester can use TestComplete.
- Robust. If you know how to write your tests and that the name mapping is essential, then the tests are robust.
- Cloud integration for mobile tests.
Completely Test with TestComplete
- Visual test script development.
- Script based back end for focusing in on specific UI elements.
- Well laid out GUI for organizing and executing test cases.
- Automatic capture and reporting of test case execution results.
- Visual recognition is a feature we don't use due to it not being as accurate as the scripting feature.
Complete your test automation with TestComplete
- Behavior driven development
- Test regression and recognizing elements on the UI.
- API testing
- DB data validation
- Integration with CI/CD tools
- Recognizing elements in different technologies like SAP and PEGA.
- Integrating with commercial tools for CI.
- Debugging of the code.
For the second set of automation, I created data entry scripts that allow TestComplete to enter business data into our main system 24/7 with the desktop module. This ensures that there's no human error entering and it saves from having a team input data for days on end. Adding TestExecute to a virtual machine means that I can push my TC code there and have any number of users run the data entry scripts at anytime. By adding code to allow the user to pick their Excel sheet of data and which line to start on, I don't ever need to babysit the execution of the automation or make changes to the code on the fly.
This is saving the company time and money that can be invested back into the departments for other things. I have a single development TestComplete license for myself and have numerous TestExecute licenses for anyone to use. The license manager sits on a physical machine that they have access to pull from.
- Handling random popups correctly : error messages, multi-windows, etc.
- Ease of use : not at all complicated to learn and code against. Lots of features but not so many that it bogs down everything
- Object recognition : it's rare that TC will have an issue grabbing an object's properties to access
- Support : very fast with answering any questions/issues I have with 100% success rate for me
- Would love to see TC be a plugin for Visual Studio. Instead of VBScript or JavaScript, to use C# or VB.NET
- Easier to set up with iOS. Android is not bad but iOS seems slow and confusing to get up and running
- Built-in PDF reading support, built in Excel API
TestComplete flexibility makes a difference.
- I can record a simple test and play it back. This reduces the amount of time it takes to develop automated tests.
- TestComplete connects to Zephyr for reports that interest my manager.
- The test logs are easy to read, which allows follow up on any issues found.
- I have had issues with the recording generating different name mapping then what the play back wants. SmartBear seems to be addressing this issue.
- In Keyword Tests, I can jump to the associated name mapping entry. In scripts, I can not.
- I wish there was more training beyond the novice videos. Yes, there are extensive help topics, but sometimes I get overwhelmed with the amount of information I'm to read to get the answer.

TestComplete, medically approved* to relieve tedium. (*i'm not a Doctor so this may not be accurate)
Using TestComplete has really made a difference on the efficiency of the product test cycle. Previously a manual process involving hundreds of repetitive tasks, now, i simply load the test suite within TestComplete, press 'go' and it does the boring tests for me while i can do the more interesting exploratory testing manually.
TestComplete has even helped us isolate bugs in our software that we didn't even know existed, due to the nature of how it interacts with our software.
- Intuitive - whether writing scripts, or keyword tests, the TestComplete object discovery and mapping engine really helps keep things accessible to the 'driver', for example, i use the object browser to find elements and inspect their members, once mapped, referencing them in scripts and keyword tests is simple.
- Powerful - day to day, the problems I've had to solve to create tests were aided by TestComplete not hindered. Even if a scripting module is not present by default, it can easily be added/referenced
- Support network - I've had reason to ask the Smartbear support team for help a few times, and while their answers don't come immediately, they have been absolutely bang on the money with the answers given. In addition to this, the forums answer almost any 'mainstream' question you may have, they are usually my start point if I'm stuck.
- Repeat ability - the ability to repeat processes as many times as you like is a godsend that keeps tedium and human error to one side.
- The scripting languages offered while solid, are less than convenient for me. I would love to be able to script tests in C# as i have a room full of C# experts here to assist if required
- Pressing F5 doesn't run the 'current' test, but the ENTIRE test suite, as my brain is tuned to Microsoft's F5 to 'go' this is a constant user error of mine
I have also scripted an entire run through our Ribbon menus in most of our products, doing the most basic execution tests - i.e. does the command work in isolation. This is another tedious and long test that is now quick and easy using TestComplete
desktop application testing
- We are using TestComplete for windows desktop applications and, compared to other tools that we tried, it was most intuitive and easy to use
- Other than that, since our application is large and consists of lots of different UI controls, TestComplete worked well with most of them, since some other tools didn't work at all
- TestComplete has integration with Git so we can easily save our tests to a remote Git repository
- Sometimes is not easy to find the property you would like to use for checkpoint
- TestComplete for windows could run faster in some scenarios
- Git integration could be improved (to not only use Tortoise Git)
TestComplete isn't quite complete (for WPF)
- TestComplete allows access to the entire view model of WPF programs, which allows for complex tests to be scripted.
- TestComplete has a feature called Object Spy, which makes scripting of new tests fairly quick, as users can quickly see the names an attributes of applications elements simply by clicking on parts of the application user interface.
- TestComplete's text editor is extremely slow for debugging (especially for loading local variables, which can take minutes to load for every step in the debugging process).
- During our use of TestComplete, we found that it would regularly hang during test runs, requiring a manual restart of the test run.
- The version of JavaScript used by TestComplete is rather bare bones and could be much improved with features common in modern libraries.
- TestComplete seemed to have difficulty working with complex WPF programs as we found it necessary to script frequent breaks and refreshes into our automated tests in order to be sure that TestComplete had an accurate version of the view model.
Positive, productive tool
- Robust and complete coverage for all UI elements including third party components that we use from Syncfusion.
- Support is responsive.
- Frequent updates to software which typically includes useful additions and fixes.
- It's a complex code that takes time to come up to speed.
- It can be a bit slow to run the tests, but we are exploring the parallel options it offers.
- There can be difficulties on virtual machines due to resolution issues, etc.
Great for interface testing
- User interface testing
- Keeping up with browser developments
- Identifying behavior changes in the interface
- The licensing system is unwieldy, particularly when it comes to removing a license from a dead machine.
- The stand-alone test runner, TestExecute, really needs a function for setting local variables and parameters.
- Adding exception handling for scripts would be very useful.
- Adding a 'pause for human interaction' script element (other than inserting a breakpoint) would be highly useful for certain tests.
Test Complete Review
- Keyword Testing
- Data Driven Loop
- I find the training to be a challenge
- The initial software installation and configurations for the license manager a quirky
