TestComplete, Step by Step tutorial

Dear All,

In this blog I am trying to give you step by step tutorial for Automation using TestComplete. I am covering below items in this blog -
1- Adding New Project
2- Adding New Unit
3- Scripting
4- Run and Result

Before Going to add New Project in TestComplete, You Need to Launch TestComplete First -
* Go To Start → All Program → Automated QA → TestComplete  or Double click on TestComplete Shortcut. When You launch TestComplete below page will display. This page is called Start page for TestComplete.

On a Start page you will get the details about your Recent Projects, You can Open Your Existing Projects, You can Create/Add  new Project too.

1- Adding New Project :→ Before start Automation in TestComplete you need to create a project in it. Follow the instruction to create a new Project in TC - 

* File → New →New Project 

When you click on "New Project", Create New Project dialog box will display, here you need to Specify, Your Project Name and Location where you want to store your project

 

 Project Name Text Box → Enter Your Project Name.

2- Jscript
3- DelphiScript
4- ConnectedApp Script (under ConnectedApp Scripting language we can select C# or C++).

2- Adding New Unit :→ Before going to to automate your project you need to Add Scripting unit in your project. Follow the instruction to add script unit in your project -

 

* Go on Project Workspace/Explorer → Select Your Project Name → Double Click on Advance → Right click on “Script” → Add → Click on New Item

On click of New Item,  Item Type dialog box will appear, here you need to specify your script name and location, where you want to store your script

Name Text Box -  BrowserLaunching   (My Script name)

Location - D:\Demo\Demo\Script\     (Location where I want to store my Script)

Now Click on OK Button , when you click on OK button your Script unit has been added Successfully.

 here you can write your script by using your selected scripting language as above.

3- Scripting :→ here I am going to demonstrate writing a script which is writing in VBScript, In this script I am going to create a Sub Routine named as Browser here I have Created a Object IE for Internet Explorer and made it visible, once browser is launched successfully it will be navigate on Google web page

Sub Browser 

Dim IE

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

IE.Visible = True

IE.Navigate"http://google.com"

Delay(1000)

End Sub 

4 - Run Script - Once your script has been completed you need to  run it. There are different ways to run your script-

1- Select Your Script → Right Click on it → Click on Run Current Routine 

2-  Go on Project Explorer → Select your script → Right Click on it → Run (your Script) Routine

3 - Select Run Option in your Tool bar. 

Once your execution is done it will show you the result like below 

Thanks All, This may help you to start automation testing in TestComplete.
