TestComplete Reviews & Product Details

TestComplete is well-organized and presented, and very accessible. It allows tests to be written in several languages and written as keyword tests which require no coding. The object repository is extremely flexible and powerful yet easy to use. Distributed testing is powerful and inexpensive to implement with the TestExecute add-on or use of CrossBrowserTesting add-on feature. Build or buy? My choice is buy when there's a tool like TestComplete available at a reasonable cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are occasions when writing tests when TestComplete seems to lose it's "handle" on some objects and can't recognize them until TestComplete is restarted -- I haven't seen this when running tests, only occasionally during the development process. Also, the Python editor is very capable, but also rather slow, especially when trying to step through code while debugging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to learn TestComplete. The keyword scripts are there to help you start. Once you become more advanced you can develop smarter tests by writing code. There is an extensive documentation online, if you are still lost, SmartBear support is quick to resolve your issues. Equally important also is code reuse, we have created standalone libraries which we can reference in any new TestComplete project. Reliability is an important factor, with TestComplete running your tests again holds no surprises for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We sometimes encounter issues setting up a new environment on a new machine. We contact support when we can't resolve it on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For what TestComplete can do, the ObjectSpy tool, keeping up with technology, cost, support, and the ease of use are a few on the many pluses to this test tool. I come across very few items that TestComplete cannot automate. And if blocked, the TtestComplete forum of users usually have a solution as well as the SmartBear Support team. TestComplete has been recently been improved and stabilized more for the testing community. I love the new functionality and changes presented as well as those I see in the request queue for future releases. The help documentation is fantastic as well.

I would like to see a way to get individual test logs from a group run. An optional to turn this on/off would be great. I have very few complaints to present here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the ability to configure mid script. ability to update the the API and UI changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometime changes in the UI tend to break the scripts and cause more rework to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy and flexible the software is. It is very adaptive. The ability to add folders and structure test projects is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do believe there is somewhat of a steep learning curve to really grasp the application's features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The possibility to reference each graphical control by it's name using the "Object browser" tool is really interesting. Even if the control's size, color or the X Y coordinates change between versions of your target application, TestEcomplete find it every time and that makes my scripts very reliable.

The possibility to write your scripts in Keyword (for basic users) or in VBScripts for advanced users make this tool very powerful, anyone can create his script and become operational really fast whatever his knowledge. More you can use both Keyword and VBScripts methods in the same project ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I should say something negative about TestComplete it's the fact that you cannot edit your KeyWord outside TestComplete. When you run a test through TestExecute, if you need to adjust something in your scripts, you can if you are using VBScript but if you need to adjust something in a KeyWord you have to use TestComplete. Both tools doesn't use the same kind of licenses and sometimes this is annoying for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Test complete is easy to use and comes with lots of feature. The documentation is well maintained and it is the best easy to use tool for the oracle form testing that I have used. The data driven testing part through the different options gives us the flexibility from switching between different modes of external input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not able to have a dynamic database checkpoint. One use case suggests us to have a dynamic database checkpoint by forming the sql statement at the run time based on certain conditions during the functional testing. But we are not able to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works as an automated regression testing tool. It takes screenshots of every test which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting isn't great and the UI feels like it's from the 90's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that it was easy to use. It wasn't too complicated and with the trail, you get all the feature so there is no guesswork when you get the actual product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that I cant export script out of testComplete Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility of TestComplete is what makes the application so useful in my opinion. You can use TestComplete to run tests on multiple applications all at the same time, it's exactly like running a manual test yourself, except you can automate that test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a ton of information to take in when you first start using the application. But, like most things if you dig in and keep at it, eventually you will learn most of the functions and features and you just keep building on top of that knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
