Test Complete Video Series -- Part 1 (Introduction to IDE) Video Lecture | Automation Training with TestComplete - Software Testing

hi friends welcome to the video tutorial
session after completing exhibit
automation dot-com so for an exhibit
automation comm we have discussed about
various testing tools like qtp selenium
and bsts for tests complete we have
taken a different way we have sorted
creating a video format of discussion so
that we can help people to help them
getting started in tests compute very
quickly in this session we are going to
quickly go over to the testcomplete's
IDE and some of its important advantages
and features I like testcomplete very
much since it's very similar to qdp and
if not only allow me to write course in
VB script
it also allow me to write course in Java
scripts and telphy ok so let's not waste
our time and just get started you not
start my test complete session I'm going
to my virtual machine running in my
VMware so this is they just complete IDE
it looks similar like a Visual Studio
IDE little bit and a qdp IDE so it's a
combination of both but it's very simple
to learn this complete has got a lot of
features as like UDP it not only help us
write tests just for functional UI tests
but also tests come it allow us to write
manual tests it also helps us to test
web services HTTP performance just and
also allows the performed distributed
tests by means of remote agents and
other stuff
well our interest of this session is
just the IDE discussion
so here the just complete has its
initial start page so it has recent
project list it has some getting started
video tutorials and step by step
tutorials as you have seen in other
testing tools like qdp also here we have
something called as record new test if
you click this you can easily record
your test and it straightaway goes to
keyword test well about keyword test we
can discuss about them in later sessions
basically this complete IDE has a
project Explorer a code Explorer and a
browser Explorer in its neo pan of its
side the project Explorer actually holds
the project I have just for
demonstration purpose created a project
with session 1 while creating a project
we can discuss about the tragedy
creation in next sessions so here it has
a project suite and here this is the
project which I'm going to work with and
it has got an advanced folder which
actually holds the scripts that you are
recording you can of course record the
scripts or you can record the tests by
means of keyword test
well keyword test is actually a a UI
based test so whatever it test you
record all the tests will be recorded
like a Zen UI item here so that you can
perform the operation in this window and
make changes by means of this test
action help and by clicking just this
logging option to perform the law of
operation other stuff name app Bing is
similar to the object repository in qdp
if you're very much familiar with qdb
then name mapping is no different with
that and stores it actually holds the
collection of images files
and XML files are even that data tables
are the XLS files whatever you want to
hold for supporting the projects
everything can be stored in this stores
files
Chester app is something which actually
holds your application under test it can
be a reference to the path of your
application itself or if your
application is very small you can even
include it in test lab itself their
project suite locks it actually holds
all the log files of your tests so while
your test executes automatically the log
files will be created while coming back
to the keyword tests here it
automatically created a test one if you
see this test one it has a lot of test
actions so these are nothing but the
operations that you can actually perform
in your test I'm not going to deal fully
about these details right now but we can
discuss about these things in our
upcoming tutorials as qtp is very much
famous for its recording playback
just complete is of no different you can
also perform record on playback here the
very best feature of qdp I would say is
object identification and recording it
in the object repository
similarly in testcomplete we have object
recognition who knobs the end if
occasion by means of record and playback
in qdp we have something called as
object spy to identify the object of
application under test similarly we have
objects why it does complete to which is
available here if we click this object
spy you can see this objects by
available here using this crosshair you
can track on a particular object within
your application I don't have any open
application right now so I had just the
operating system so I'm just clicking on
this test complete object and it shows
me all the properties of the particular
object
if you click this view more members it
will show you the advanced view of the
opposite identifications it is really
very cool and it's very huge than
compared to the objects by off qdp but
it is really very helpful to drill down
to find the exact value of the object
you can also have methods and you can
see all these methods available for the
particular object of the application ok
I'm not gonna be a bully with this
objects by right now so this is the
basic introduction of the IDE of death
complete let's discuss more about IDE in
