History

TestComplete was developed by AutomatedQA, a software company founded in 1999 with a focus on automation tools for software testing. The initial release of TestComplete occurred in 1999, targeting automated functional testing for Windows desktop applications, particularly those built with Visual Component Library (VCL) and Delphi environments. Early versions emphasized script-based testing for graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in native Windows applications, providing record-and-playback capabilities alongside support for languages like VBScript and JScript to streamline regression testing workflows.^[12] In 2007, AutomatedQA was acquired by Insight Venture Partners, which merged it with other entities including Pragmatic Software and SmartBear to form SmartBear Software in 2009, rebranding the portfolio under a unified developer tools company.^[9] This consolidation marked a pivotal shift, expanding TestComplete's scope beyond its VCL and Delphi-centric origins to include broader support for .NET frameworks, Java applications, web technologies, and eventually mobile platforms.^[13] Post-acquisition enhancements accelerated cross-technology compatibility, enabling testing of diverse application types and integrating with emerging standards like HTML5 and WPF. Major version milestones reflect this evolution. TestComplete 12, released in 2016, introduced JavaScript (ECMAScript 6) as a primary scripting language and added native support for Android and iOS mobile testing, while deprecating C++Script and C#Script dialects in favor of standard C++ and C# integration.^[14] Version 14, launched in 2019, improved object recognition through enhanced Name Mapping algorithms and added support for web components like Shadow DOM and custom elements, laying groundwork for more robust AI-assisted identification of dynamic UI elements.^[15] The Version 15 series, beginning in 2020, further incorporated AI-driven features such as self-healing tests for cross-platform web applications and generative AI for test data creation, alongside improvements in mobile device cloud integration and browser compatibility.^[16]^[11] This progression culminated in release 15.78 on October 6, 2025, which included user interface accessibility updates using Avalonia for better compliance and usability, continuing the tool's adaptation to modern development practices.^[10]

Core Functionality

Primary Uses

TestComplete primarily enables automated functional, regression, and graphical user interface (GUI) testing for software applications, allowing teams to reduce manual testing efforts, accelerate release cycles through faster execution, and improve test coverage across diverse environments.^[17] By automating repetitive tasks, it helps identify defects early in the development process, ensuring higher software quality without proportional increases in time or resources.^[18] This approach is particularly valuable for maintaining stability in evolving codebases, where manual verification would be inefficient.^[19] In practical use cases, TestComplete supports testing desktop applications for overall stability and functionality, web applications to verify cross-browser compatibility across numerous configurations, and mobile applications to simulate user interactions on various devices.^[17] For instance, QA teams can automate checks for UI responsiveness in desktop environments, ensure consistent performance across browsers like Chrome and Firefox for web apps, and validate touch-based gestures in mobile scenarios.^[19] These capabilities extend to integration with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, such as Jenkins, enabling seamless automated test runs as part of build and deployment workflows to support rapid iterations.^[20] Key benefits include scriptless record-and-playback functionality for quick test creation without deep coding expertise, data-driven testing to parameterize scenarios using external data sources for broader validation, and built-in visualizers that capture screenshots during execution to aid in failure analysis and debugging.^[17]^[21]^[22] These features make TestComplete suitable for QA teams and developers in enterprises, particularly in sectors like finance and healthcare, where reliable automation is essential for compliance and high-stakes applications.^[23]^[24]

Key Features

TestComplete offers keyword-driven testing through a visual editor that allows users without programming expertise to create automated tests by assembling pre-defined keywords representing actions and verifications on application objects.^[25] This approach separates test steps, objects, actions, and data, enabling point-and-click test creation for desktop, web, and mobile applications.^[25] For more advanced customization, scripted testing is supported via an integrated code editor that accommodates languages such as JavaScript, Python, VBScript, and C#Script.^[7] The editor includes debugging tools to step through code, set breakpoints, and inspect variables during execution, along with IntelliSense for code completion and syntax suggestions to streamline development.^[7] Additionally, plug-ins extend the editor's capabilities for specialized testing needs, such as support for additional technologies.^[7] Record and playback functionality captures user interactions with applications to generate initial test scripts automatically.^[17] Users can edit these recordings to eliminate extraneous actions or noise, ensuring precise test reproduction across environments.^[7] Distributed testing enables parallel execution of tests across multiple machines or virtual machines, facilitating load simulation and scalability in continuous integration pipelines.^[26] This is achieved using TestExecute, which runs tests remotely and aggregates results into a centralized master report.^[26] Data-driven testing separates test logic from input data, allowing parameterization with sources like Excel spreadsheets, CSV files, or databases to execute the same test with varied datasets for broader coverage.^[27] The Test Visualizer captures screenshots of application states during test recording and playback, aiding in debugging by visually documenting user actions such as mouse clicks and keypresses.^[22] These images can be compared between runs to identify visual discrepancies or failures.^[22] TestComplete integrates with bug tracking systems including Jira and Azure DevOps, allowing automatic creation and submission of issue reports from test logs directly to these platforms.^[28] For extensibility, it provides a COM-based API that exposes internal objects, methods, and properties of tested applications, enabling custom automation and integration with external tools.^[7] Recent enhancements post-2022 include AI-powered test data generation, introduced in version 15.64 via the Intelligent Quality add-on, which uses natural language prompts to create synthetic, realistic datasets for data-driven tests stored in variables or Excel.^[29] The add-on also implements self-healing tests that employ machine learning algorithms to detect and repair object identification errors caused by application changes, achieving up to a 95% success rate in maintaining test stability (self-healing introduced in version 14.40 in 2020).^[11]^[30]

Testing Capabilities

Supported Testing Types

TestComplete supports functional and GUI testing, which validate user interface interactions and underlying business logic by simulating user actions such as clicks, inputs, and navigation across desktop, web, and mobile applications.^[31] This approach ensures that the application's expected behavior aligns with requirements, capturing both visual elements and functional outcomes.^[32] Regression testing in TestComplete involves re-executing existing test suites after code modifications to detect unintended side effects, maintaining software stability over iterative development cycles.^[31] Tests can be automated to run repeatedly in continuous integration environments, verifying that updates do not break prior functionality.^[32] The tool integrates with unit testing frameworks, enabling developers to incorporate low-level checks directly into TestComplete projects for comprehensive coverage from code units to full system validation.^[33] Supported frameworks include JUnit, TestNG, NUnit, and MSTest, allowing execution of third-party unit tests alongside other automated scenarios.^[34] Distributed testing facilitates execution across multiple machines and environments using CI/CD integrations and the Execution Plan, simulating concurrent user loads on web and server applications, though it is recommended to use CI/CD systems for modern distributed workflows.^[35] TestComplete supports load testing through integration with LoadNinja, which records user actions and simulates concurrent virtual users to measure response times under load, assessing scalability and bottlenecks.^[36] Low-level procedure testing provides pixel-perfect control for coordinate-based actions, recording and replaying individual mouse, keyboard, and wheel events in screen or window-relative coordinates, ideal for legacy or non-standard interfaces.^[37] TestComplete's primary test formats are keyword tests, which use a visual, table-based editor for non-programmers to assemble operations without coding, and script tests, which offer greater flexibility through supported scripting languages for complex logic.^[19] Additionally, it supports gesture testing for Android applications (in legacy mode), recording and simulating multi-touch events like swipes and pinches on touch-enabled devices.^[38]

Test Creation Methods

TestComplete provides multiple workflows for creating automated tests, allowing users to choose approaches based on their expertise and project needs. These methods include recording user interactions, manual scripting, keyword-driven testing, and hybrid combinations, all leveraging the tool's object recognition capabilities to interact with application elements reliably.^[19] Recording tests in TestComplete involves capturing user actions through the Record Keyword Test or Record Script options, which automatically generate test steps based on interactions with the application under test. This action-based recording supports both keyword tests and script-based outputs, with TestComplete's Name Mapping feature enabling automatic identification and mapping of UI objects to ensure stable test playback across different environments. For instance, during recording, users can perform clicks, inputs, or navigations, and the tool inserts corresponding operations while handling dynamic elements through property-based aliases.^[39]^[40] Manual scripting allows developers to build tests from scratch using code editors integrated into TestComplete, providing direct access to application objects via the Name Mapping repository for precise control over test logic. This method is ideal for complex scenarios requiring custom algorithms or integrations, where scripts can invoke methods on test objects to simulate actions and assertions without relying on visual recording. Users can create routines that interact with internal application structures, such as database queries or API calls, while maintaining readability through modular code organization.^[19] Keyword-driven testing uses a visual, table-like editor to assemble tests by dragging and dropping operations, enabling modular and reusable test components without writing code. Each keyword represents a specific action, such as "Click" or "Input Text," applied to mapped objects, allowing non-programmers to construct comprehensive test flows in a step-by-step manner. This approach promotes maintainability by separating test logic into discrete, editable keywords that can be parameterized for broader coverage.^[41]^[25] Hybrid approaches combine keyword tests with scripts to handle intricate testing requirements, where keyword operations can call scripted routines for advanced processing or vice versa, offering flexibility for teams with mixed skill sets. For example, a keyword test might orchestrate high-level flows while invoking scripts for low-level validations, ensuring scalability in large projects. This integration supports seamless transitions between visual and code-based elements during test development.^[19] As of TestComplete 15.77 (September 2025), AI-powered test data generation allows users to produce synthetic test data using simple text instructions, facilitating broader test coverage in automated scenarios.^[42] To maintain and refine tests, TestComplete includes tools like the Object Spy, which lets users inspect and identify application elements by highlighting their properties, methods, and hierarchy in real-time for accurate mapping. Checkpoints facilitate verification by capturing and comparing properties, text content, or images against expected values, such as confirming a button's enabled state or a screen region's appearance, which aids in regression testing and ongoing test upkeep. These tools integrate directly into the creation workflow, allowing dynamic updates to Name Mapping as applications evolve.^[43]^[44]

Supported Technologies

Applications and Platforms

As of TestComplete version 15.78 (October 2025), the following technologies are supported. TestComplete supports testing of desktop applications developed for Windows using a variety of technologies and frameworks.

Flash applications are supported but deprecated following Flash Player's end-of-life in 2020, with removal planned in future releases.^[48] Silverlight applications, including in-browser and out-of-browser types, remain testable through internal object access and control simulation.^[49] PDF content verification is possible via text extraction and checkpoints, requiring TestComplete version 14.20 or later and the Intelligent Quality add-on.^[50] Adobe applications, such as Acrobat for PDF handling, can be tested through UI automation where compatible with supported desktop technologies.^[51]

Scripting Languages

TestComplete supports several scripting languages for creating and extending automated tests, allowing users to write custom scripts that interact with the tool's object model and APIs. The primary languages are JavaScript and Python, which leverage modern engines for robust performance and compatibility with contemporary development practices. JavaScript, powered by the V8 engine version 5.8, serves as the default and most widely used option, offering full support for ECMAScript 6 (ES6) and later standards introduced in TestComplete 12.0.^[14]^[52] This enables features like arrow functions, classes, and modules, making it suitable for complex test logic while maintaining compatibility with web development workflows. Python, integrated via its version 3.13.3 engine, excels in data manipulation and integration with external libraries such as NumPy or Pandas, providing a high-level syntax ideal for handling test data and performing advanced computations within scripts.^[53] For users with legacy requirements, TestComplete includes VBScript, which aligns with Microsoft’s traditional scripting environment and remains fully supported for maintaining older test suites. JScript, an ECMAScript variant based on older Internet Explorer implementations, offers basic JavaScript-like functionality but lacks modern features. DelphiScript, derived from Object Pascal, caters specifically to developers familiar with Embarcadero tools like Delphi, facilitating seamless integration for applications built in those environments. These legacy options—VBScript, JScript, and DelphiScript—are still accessible but not recommended for new projects due to limited updates and potential compatibility issues with evolving platforms.^[54] C#Script and C++Script, introduced for compatibility with .NET and native C++ applications, have been designated as legacy since TestComplete version 12.0 (released in 2016) and are no longer available in the project creation wizard. They remain supported for existing projects but are discouraged for new development, particularly following the deprecation of connected and self-testing application features that relied on them. The scripting language is selected at the project level during creation and cannot be switched at runtime, ensuring consistency across all script units within the project. However, cross-language interoperability is possible through TestComplete's unified API, allowing scripts in one language to invoke methods or access objects defined in units from projects using different languages via explicit imports or references.^[55]^[14]^[54]^[56] This setup promotes modularity while adhering to the chosen language's syntax for core test implementation.
