TestComplete Pros and Cons

-TestComplete is the most advanced testing software which can automate UI test Desktop, Web, and Mob testing(Android and iOS) .

-I like the Record and play feature, by using that I can record the test case and later modify it to enter my inputs and then play to test it.

-I also loved the Map Object from Screen and Display Object spy feature which lets you spy on any object and provides you with all possible Xpaths for that object and also related methods which can be used on that object. An amazing feature that makes testing easy and simplified.

-We don't need to know code to write scripts in TestComplte, recording the test case will present you with the script.

Also, it supports all the widely used tools like Git, Jira, Jenkins, AzureDevops, HP Alm, Selenium, and many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reusability feature lets you call one script from another using pages which makes it complex and it hopes on multiple pages if you're script is complex and requires a lot of other scripts to be reused it becomes a little difficult to maneuver to all pages.

When editing a script and executing it multiple times, it sometimes crashes and behaves differently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

test complete helps speed up functional tests Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

you must write the tests on the same machine you plan to run them. Any difference in resolution of screens between vms or physical devices could cause the app to not perform correclty Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Full integration into Jira, API to integrate automation testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not standalone. Would be better to be useable if I'm not Jira user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compatibility with various languages and can be used on windows, android or ios devices

Good user interface which makes it easier to create and execute test cases

Can be used for both manual and automation testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price is the big one. They have pretty much out priced themselves out of the market for many SME's. Some browser object recognition was difficult when I last used (may have improved since) support took a few days to respond to emails and there was no phone support even if you were prepared to pay more for it (as my employer at the time was) which meant if you got stuck on something there was a lag of several days in getting a response. Often when the response did arrive it felt like I was getting a 1st level support pre scripted response, and more than once their suggestion would be that I try something which my support request message had clearly stated I had already tried. Having said this I have not used it for a number of years so their support may be better or worse and the browser object recognition issues may also be better or worse now!

Also creating exe files to reun on other machines using the testcomplete client/runner app (can't remember exactly what it was called) wasn't always straight forward and you had to spend more time than you wanted to debugging exe files which had been built following all of the documented support instructions. Also the c#.net syntax seems to be its own proprietary syntax and if you cannot figure out how to do something syntax wise, and can't get an answer from support you can't just google for it like you can if coding in Java and other languages as it's not standard. A developer commented that it appears to be a sort of mix between c#.net and c# script with some rules that were not either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TestComplete is a pretty robust automated testing tool. I've been using it for about 9 years. It does take some time to learn and unlike the salespeople push it to be plug and play or record and playback, there are some scripting skills needed to get your test scripts working consistently for regression testing. It's been a 9 year learning curve but I've gotten there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their license utility leaves little to be desired. The department in charge of licensing should take off the tin foil beanies and be a little less paranoid over their product. Believe me, it's not something worth pirating. Most anti-virus software blocks this license product and getting them to get along has been a nightmare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is the Keyword Test option, where a beginner can directly record steps without scripting. Anyone can use this product to start their automation test journey.

The methods provided are very convenient and user-friendly, which can be remembered easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it takes time to detect the fields in the keyword test. The UI is a little congested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not E2E view compared to other automation tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a fairly complete, powerful and intuitive interface so you don't need to be a programming expert to be able to use it without any problem, the fact that it allows me to perform different tests on my programs and developments is something of great help When I want to verify the proper functioning of my entire program in a much safer, more accurate, faster and more reliable way, the quality of the reports generated after performing the software analysis is quite complete and objective, which helps me make decisions. in a much faster way regarding how we are going to solve the problems detected in the best possible way without generating long delays in the final delivery of the software.

It has some errors that can affect the performance of this application during its use, especially slowing it down or even leaving the program frozen, which happens very frequently, the solution? As there is no other option than to restart the entire application and start the tests from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
