Restore confidence in your code with TestComplete
TestComplete is being used in our organization by our QA team to support our custom in-house applications as well as our externally facing web site applications. TestComplete has allowed us to push more reliable code out more quickly giving us the confidence that the development team hasn't broken other areas of our applications. We previously were pushing out changes without knowing that other areas broke since we didn't have the time to manually test everything.
- The user interface is well designed which does not require us to hire QA testers that also have a coding background. It's not complicated to learn.
- We have found that the SmartBear community is very supportive and SmartBear responds to our ticket requests.
- It does a great job of supporting different scripting languages and support for multiple browsers.
- We would like to see better image comparison flexibilities for editing image comparison masks.
- Some of our QA testers record their tests but most of the help files are directed at testers who script.
- We've run into some bugs in the last few weeks and we had to work with technical support from SmartBear. We submitted a ticket.
TestComplete can be used fully to automate all desktop, web, and mobile apps across different teams or organizations. Most of the ROI reduces a lot of scripting and time, in order to solve errors and warnings since TestComplete supports AI driven self-healing mechanisms. It also integrates with all the CI/CD tools/bug tracking tools easily.
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).

TestComplete - The smart and awesome tool I have ever used.
We have 150 different applications that we test using different tools. TestComplete is one of the tools that we are using prominently to test our many applications.
TestComplete is mainly used across our all departments and I would say people are widely using that.
It removes the complexity of using difficult tools like Selenium and no prior programming language knowledge is needed to create or run these tests. We are automating our sanity and regression test suites using Test Complete.

TestComplete Easy and Robust
TestComplete is used within my company in special projects. We use it to automate the regression tests for a product we develop for our customers.
- 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.
We're primarily using TestComplete to run UI tests against a web application and standalone applications. The web application is older and has a lot of architecture that is outdated and limits us from running automated tests that are based more in the API/integration-based area. That means we are stuck with running more UI-based tests than a true test automation group might like to have. TestComplete makes organizing and running our tests fairly smooth.
- TestComplete is great for working with our non-web applications.
- TestComplete allows us to interface with our web application in a robust way.
- Despite the age of our architecture, TestComplete handles the old stuff that's been around a while as well as the newer technology when we are able to implement it.
- TestComplete could stand to have a simplified view for different types of users. For instance, as a manager/architecture guy, I'm not so interested in getting into the code and am more interested in file-based interactions.
- TestComplete could use more integration with reporting for things like TeamCity to improve test status visibility.

TestComplete: A tool that can save you a lot of time and give you those extra minutes for warm cup of coffee
It is used by a few divisions in our company for automated testing. Mainly for Windows or Java, Desktop feature. We also use TestExecute. It saves a lot of time by automated actions instead of constantly doing manual work by developers. Maintenance of the code is also simpler. It will help your workers, it helps you!
- Automated testing
- Code maintenance
- Bug tracking
- Performance issues mostly.
- From time to time unexpectedly exits.

Automation
TestComplete is being used in our QA department. We use it to run our regression when receiving a new release from out vendor. This is useful as we usually complete around 500 test case[s] per release. As we get new releases monthly, we are able to run TestComplete and quickly and easily see if any part[s] of the program have broken.
- Flushes out any defects when we get a new release
- We are able to release programs to production in a timely manner
- Very little user intervention. We are able to run TestComplete overnight.
- Speed can improve
- User interface can be more intuitive
Currently only the QA department uses TestComplete and mainly as a regression tool. Recently though Development Head also start using this as part of a system overhaul, again using it as a regression and sanity check tool. TestComplete will assist any "reader" of the test case to see the process flow and of course, any errors caused by the recent deployment of code will be flagged.
- Allow non technical staff to capture automation tests
- Clear and uncomplicated visualization of results
- Compatibility with other applications like selenium
- Remote connection e.g. into a jump box is an issue that seems we can overcome by using selenium, but using only TestComplete would have been preferable.
- Automatic kick-off of test cases. Might just be my team that is struggling but possibly look at an easy solution/interface for nontechnical staff?

Completely Test with TestComplete
TestComplete is used solely within the Quality department at my organization and is used to test the web application portion of our product. We maintain a bank of test scripts that we developed, and are planning to integrate the execution of the test scripts into our CI/CD pipeline in the near future.
- 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
TestComplete is being used across the organization for multiple purposes. The QA Team uses it for their functional and regression testing, and the same is being used to test the integration by the Devs. The BAs and other businesses use it to get the UAT. Before, we put our applications into the production environment.
- 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.

My experience of TestComplete
We used TestComplete for automation testing on our web application regression testing daily. We use it for our department application. Mostly we use it as a daily regression test to test each main function of the application [for] most UI functions.
- The key word testing helps us a lot. It can generate the test case fast.
- It is easy to use. No strong tech skills of the tester is required.
- It is well organized. The help information and documentation is really a help.
- The TestComplete tech support team is efficient with feedback.
- The tech support team process takes some extra time for the user. {You have to] open a ticket, then get general information, [then] have to contact the account manager [to] find a specific support engineer to have a meeting to share screen to resolve the problem. Might take 2 weeks to get set up [with a] conference call meeting.
- My account manager changes frequently, and so far I don't know who my contact is.
I started using TestComplete about 7 years ago when I was brought into the company to set up a formal software QA process. I had used a few other automation tools in the past but wanted to try a bunch out on the new software. I ended up going with SmartBear as it worked well with the software I was going to test. With TestComplete's modules, I was able to use web and mobile scripts easily. Our sales tools have complex formulas to get pricing, so TestComplete made it easy to do. I pull rates from the DB, use an Excel spreadsheet to store options/data for each scenario to run, calculate the values, then easily compare to what is shown on the screen to verify. Android app was just as easy to use.
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

Good software for non-coders
We use TestComplete for regression testing [our] ERP system.
- User friendly for non-coders
- Record feature
- SmartBear Community
- Easier use of variables
- Automatic variables such as today's date, etc
- Name mapping is a bit clunky
July 22, 2021
TestComplete flexibility makes a difference.
TestComplete is only used by the IT QA department. I use it to automate testing, which increases the amount of tests that are completed in a short period of time.
- 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.

You can take what Test Complete have (Its Functionality), but you can't Develop what you want
We use TestComplete in the Quality Assurance department, especially me, as we have a one-seat license to Test our records Management Software. We use TestComplete to do functional testing of our product. It helps during our release cycle to run smoothly and helps us to minimize the manual workload.
- Test License include Test Seat for IDE and Test Execute for Running on VM
- Help non-coding person to get started with Record and play back methodology
- Smart bear academy motivates people to learn with in-house practical learning feeds/videos
- Users are not notified with new features that have been added for each release
- Compatibility to test Tool tips on Web pages
TestComplete is our primary automation tool for regression testing
- Easy to use
- Continuous Updates
- Excellent Support
- Feature rich
- Parallel testing
- Test publishing
We use it as a test automation tool for UI regression testing. It provides good test coverage and provides unique solutions to most of our automation challenges (e.g. comparison of images).
- Object spy eases the object identification method.
- TextObject recognition feature of this product exposes most of the objects to perform the actions.
- Test items, project variables helps in managing the automation suite and scheduling execution.
- Jenkins integration to schedule executions.
- Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage.
- Support to various/different versions of browsers in web testing.
- Support for the Windows mobile application.
My organization uses TestComplete to automate testing of our custom software. The software is a windows application, used with a medical device that we are designing. The software and test engineers use this program at my organization. TestComplete automates testing which allows for quicker and more thorough software validation. This helps us to iterate quicker on software releases.
- TestComplete has an easy UI so you don't need to be a coder to use it.
- TestComplete has a lot of functionality to integrate with different software types - web based, desktop based, etc.
- TestComplete can require some pretty manual steps to update test cases.
- TestComplete has some bugs that I could not resolve.
TestComplete is used by several teams in my organization but not all. It is typically used for test automation and mainly for functional and regression testing.
- It easily integrates with other tools like Jira, Github, Jenkins and even other test automation frameworks like Selenium. With these features, it makes a perfect case for continuous testing and CI/CD. Also perfect for DevOps style of development.
- It supports multiple platforms like desktop applications, web applications, and mobile applications. This combination makes a great one as in today's world an app should be functioning in all environments.
- It has cloud on demand test labs which is excellent for running your test suite in multiple environments without any hassle.
- Got to say that object recognition is way superior to other tools which is very key for test automation. Also supports codeless automation which is cool.
- Even though object recognition is their strength, it can still be better. Some times in a dynamic web application, the object recognition fails. Of course there are work arounds but you shouldn't really be using them.
- Switching to debug mode when an exception pops in is missing. Would be a great add on.
- There are many open source free tools in the market and license cost is a factor with this tool.

TestComplete review from a user in the workspace
I am a lead on the Automation Team. TestComplete is used among my organization for various products. We build upon what TestComplete offers us as our core with our code application-specific frameworks and scripts for sanity, smoke, and regression testing. QA are trained against the TestComplete tool, the FWK and coding to learn how to script, execute, debug, and analyze the results. TestComplete helps greatly to catch defects, DEV changes, design flaws, and performance before releasing to our clients. These issues can only be caught if the scripts are coded in a smart fashion and TestComplete helps with the functionality it provides.
- The ObjectSpy tool is the best I've seen for an automation tool. Gives a lot of details on an element to know how to handle it for automation purposes.
- TestComplete is an easy tool to play around with and learn how to use. Fantastic help from documentation and code examples.
- SmartBear forum provides great support on questions and issues.
- Great support of Third party packages used by webpages, windows applications, and browsers.
- Great control in organizing your code and scripts.
- I rarely come across anything that I cannot do in TestComplete. SmartBear does a great job in keeping up with the latest in the industry as new releases come out.
- SmartBear maintains a list of suggested functionality or improvements that they discuss and agree to develop and add to TestComplete per clients likes.
- Any issues I may come across, the SmartBear forum has many users that provide support back to me. These are users as well as SmartBear employees on this forum.

TestComplete
TestComplete is used in our test automation process. With continued integration, our automated tests developer, using TestComplete, will perform sanity tests/smoke test that will test the application included in the build every time our developer submits their code changes. It is also used in our day to day/regression testing when we have a scheduled release.
- UI Testing is very efficient and has a detailed report every time the test completes its run.
- Automation developer has the option to choose which programming language he is comfortable with, TestComplete offers a lot of options.
- The recording is very fast and easy to convert into real test.
- Compared to other tools like Microfocus UFT, TestComplete lacks some areas like loading the script library during run time, in TestComplete you need to have more experience using it to suit your need. Not easy to tweak in short.

TestComplete - Making it easy to save time and money
The development team and I noticed we spent a lot of time manually testing everything in our product before it went out the door. Specifically, the sanity test that we conduct before we release a new version.
It was decided that we needed to automate this long and costly procedure. So, I spent some time looking for options and TestComplete seemed like the perfect solution.
It was decided that we needed to automate this long and costly procedure. So, I spent some time looking for options and TestComplete seemed like the perfect solution.
- Keyword test is really easy to use. Anyone can figure it out in a couple of hours.
- The support they provide is amazing. Their customer service is top notch and they have a lot of resources for beginners to more advanced users.
- More advanced features are provided and come in handy.
- TestComplete can easily integrate with your development workflow.
- Beta testing for major releases would be nice. In other words it would be nice to see what our tests will do/ won't do for every release.
- A learning feature that is built into the product. Something like what Postman has done recently to their newest version. This would help up newbies as well as more experienced users.
