Overall Satisfaction with TestComplete

UI Testing of MS Office Plugins, which we provide to about 2 Mio Users worldwide. Used in Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and Outlook. Testing covers using Microsoft Office Features as well as windows and functionality of our add-ins. We use picture comparison and value comparison to verify our results. Especially our add-in for Powerpoint charts uses highly customized windows and menus in overlays over the actual Powerpoint charts.
  • In deep analysis of the program structure and hierarchy
  • Easy to learn for basic tests
  • Frequent updates
  • Application of script based test routines
  • Integration of Testexecute machines in the main UI
  • Picture comparison is very fleaky
  • Lot of work to maintain, especially after bigger background changes in the software
  • Hopefully in the future reliable for regression tests
For their special field (API & web testing) I choose those products over TestComplete
