TestComplete is a software product, developed by AutomatedQA to allow testers to save time by creating software quality tests to be recorded and coded, for automated playback and error logging.

TestComplete is used for testing many different application types including Web, Windows, WPF, Flash, .NET and Java. It automates front end UI/functional testing and back testing like database, and HTTP load testing.

Uses

TestComplete is used to create and automated many different software test types. Record and playback test creation records a tester performing a manual test and allows it to be played back over and over again as an automated regression test. Recorded tests can be modified later by testers to create new tests or enhance existing tests with more use cases.

Main features

"Script editor": TestComplete has a built-in code editor with a set of special plug-ins that helps testers to write scripts manually.

"Test record and playback": By default, TestComplete records only the actions necessary to replay the test, but it can record every action if need be.

"Script debugging": The debugger can stop before every executable line in the script. That helps to track what the script is doing and to make changes to the code.

"Access to methods and properties of internal objects": TestComplete reads the names of the visible elements and many internal elements of .NET, WPF, Java and Visual Basic applications and allows test scripts to access these values for verification or use in tests.

"Unicode support": TestComplete supports Unicode, so it can test applications in different languages.

"Issue tracking support": TestComplete includes issue-tracking templates that can be used to create or modify items stored in issue tracking systems. TestComplete currently supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System and AutomatedQA AQdevTeam.

"COM-based, open architecture": TestComplete’s engine is based on an open API, COM interface. It is source-language independent, and can read debugger information and use it at runtime through the TestComplete Debug Info Agent™.
