TestComplete Reviews & Product Details

The QA team in my company uses this as their main-go when developing tests and manually testing projects. Its easy and efficient to use. It allows you to use 3 different programming languages when you write your scripts. If you are having trouble coding, you can use different features that guide you to a correct code line etc..

Sometimes the smallest things can throw off the test. Such that the resolution of the screen, if the background of the screen move, if the wifi is too slow so your delays are too shor, if the app you are testing on mobile loads too slow.

It can be frustrating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TestComplete allows access to the entire view model of WPF programs, enabling complex test scripting.

TestComplete has a feature called Object Spy, which makes scripting new tests quite fast, as users can quickly see the attribute names of application elements simply by clicking on parts of the application's user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The text editor in TestComplete is extremely slow for debugging (especially for loading local variables, which can take minutes to load for each step of the debugging process).

During the use of TestComplete, we found that it would regularly hang during test runs, requiring a manual restart of the test.

The version of JavaScript used by TestComplete is rather bare bones and could be much better with the common features in modern libraries.

TestComplete seemed to have difficulties working with complex WPF programs, as we found it necessary to frequently script and update our automated tests to ensure that TestComplete had an accurate version of the view model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is ideal for the lazy testers as it is flexible with windows, web and mobile-iOS and Android-applications in one package. Record and playback test creation allows it to be played back and maintained over and over again. It supports different programming languages. Robust UI tests across native or hybrid mobile apps can be created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Smallest things can throw off the test. Like if the internet connection is weak or if the applications take time to load or resolution of the screen varies then this can be frustrating to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our QA team is not very versed in writing scripts, but TestComplete allows you to use keyword tests that are very robust unlike others that are click XY locations. We are able to seamlessly use the same keyword tests across multiple browsers, desktop, and mobile screens. We are able to test the UI and API at the same time (even without SoapUI integration). TestComplete is very easy to learn, and you can quickly get up and running and see results.

Also, the smartbear community is a fantastic resource to have when I come across issues or questions. Support has always been friendly, and always give detailed responses to help.

I was able to be a beta tester for the new OCR feature, and at first I was struggling with its use. But just like anything else I was able to reach out to the community and documentation and soon I was using it to help validate PDF's, which is something that was still a manual step. The other new feature that I personally liked was the ability to see items in name mapping that are not being used. When personally my biggest headache is managing that repository, the ability to confidently clean it up is a huge help and relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Name mapping is somewhat confusing. I have been using TestComplete for over 2 years and at times I still struggle with managing this correctly. I am not sure what the best practices are, and being able to see what others do would be amazing to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not everyone in our testteam has a developer background, so keywordtests in combination with scripts are the perfect solution for us. If needed, next to recording and updating tests, we used the possibility to write our own scripts.

We also like the dataloop and browserloop functionality, since most of our cases have a lot of possible combinations, which can be validated with UI tests.

The learning curve for Testcomplete is low, there is a quick result once the first basic tests are setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been struggling a bit with the integration with Visual Studio (TFS), but thanks to the help from the support team, these issues were solved correctly, if needed with patches.

Disadvantage of all UI automation is the fact that tests are "bound" to namemapping. Of course Namemapping is needed to identify objects correctly, but when working with grids, it is sometimes hard to identify the right cell in the right row. At this moment, we are not able to select or delete rows in a grid correctly, woraround is working with "sendkeys" to navigate through the grid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with Jenkins, ability to function on desktop applications, ability to iterate variables, and the logging/source control functionality and Git compatibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like more support and direct assistance with integration and standing up virtual license manager. Had to utilize ticket system to get those supported. Which worked and in the end was fine...but would be better and faster if part of the process was supporting that piece or at least offering it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am still fairly new to using the software but from what I've seen so far I like how many different ways it will let you know if a test failed. I don't feel like I have to spend hours figuring out what is going wrong with my test. It will give me a screenshot and tell me what line in my code is causing the issues so it makes my work a lot easier and with being new, it makes it easier to concentrate on learning my job instead of spending too much time on blankly staring at my screen.

So far i don't have much to dislike. We do have occasional problems with getting an error message when opening TestComplete but who knows what could be causing that. It could be on our end or any number of problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that you don't need developers in order to build QA automation.

We managed with relatively small group to cover a lot of functionality with TestComplete and to run it daily.

These daily runs found regressions bugs and saved us a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had issues with falls positives around running our daily tests and as I recall it was all about the timing issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it works (better than other automated recording tools) with WPF applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are always errors with object recognition. The errors thrown during playback are usually too vague as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A great automated testing tool that is very intelligent and easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hope to find it can integrate with TestRail Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
