Assign TestComplete Tests

• In the Test Library, open an existing test for the TestComplete project suite or add a new test.

• Select a default test host. If you skip this step, after you assign an automated test and click Save, the system will remind you that the test host is missing.

• Save the changes.

• On the Automations tab of the Edit Test form, click Add New to add an automated test.

• In the Agent drop-down list, select TestComplete/TestExecute.

• You can leave the Title field blank, and the system will use the name of the specified TestComplete file, or you can enter a meaningful title.

• Enter a timeout value in seconds. If the test takes longer than the given timeout, the test runner will stop running.

  The Test Runner passes the timeout value to TestComplete/TestExecute as a run parameter. The minimum value is 30 seconds: if you specify a lower value, it still uses 30 seconds. If the test takes longer than the specified timeout, it will log an error and end. For more information about how TestComplete uses the timeout, please see TestComplete Command Line.

• In Url, UNC or local path, enter the path to your TestComplete project suite or to the archive (ZIP) that contains the project suite.

  The path format depends on the project suite location. Below are examples of possible values:

  Value	Description
  C:\MyTests\MyProjectSuite.pjs -- or -- file:///C:\MyTests\MyProjectSuite.pjs	A project suite (.pjs) located in the local folder on the test host.
  C:\MyTests\ -- or -- file:///C:\MyTests\	A local folder on the test host where a project suite is located. Note: If there is more than one project suite in the folder, an error will occur.
  C:\MyTests\MyProjectSuite.zip -- or -- file:///C:\MyTests\MyProjectSuite.zip	An archive (ZIP) file that contains the project suite and is located in a local folder on the test host.
  \\Tests-PC\SharedFolder\MyProjectSuite.pjs -- or -- file:///Tests-PC\SharedFolder\MyProjectSuite.pjs	A project suite (.pjs) located in a shared folder on a computer in your network.
  \\Tests-PC\SharedFolder\ -- or -- file:///Tests-PC\SharedFolder\	A shared network folder where the project suite is located. Note: If there is more than one project suite in the folder, an error will occur.
  \\Tests-PC\SharedFolder\MyProjectSuite.zip -- or -- file:///Tests-PC\SharedFolder\MyProjectSuite.zip	An archive (ZIP) file that contains the project suite and is located in a shared network folder.
  http://downloads/mytests.com/MyProjectSuite.zip	A website URL path to the archive (ZIP) file that contains the project suite.

  Note:

  If the path you entered is incorrectly formatted, QAComplete will highlight the path in red.

  Or, simply use File Attachments to upload the archive (ZIP) file that contains the project suite. Click Browse and navigate to the zipped file.

• The Run Mode drop-down list specifies how the Test Agent will get your TestComplete test files and run the test.

  • To copy test files to the test host and run the test in a temporary folder there, choose Copy the test project to and run it in a temporary folder in Run Mode.

    If Url, UNC or local path specifies the UNC path to a project suite file (.pjs), all the contents of the folder where the project suite file is located will be copied to the test host.

  • To run the test directly in the folder where the test files are located, choose Run the test project in place (if possible) in Run Mode. If the test files are located in a shared network folder or in a local folder on the test host, the Test Agent will run the test directly in that folder.

• The Project or Test to Run field is used if you want to run a part of your TestComplete project suite:

  • To run the entire project suite, leave the Project or Test to Run field blank.

  • To run a specific project within the project suite, enter the project name.

  • To run a specific keyword test, script or project item, enter the path to the item.

  Below are examples of possible field values:

  Value	Description
  (no value)	All test items in all projects in the project suite.
  TestProject1	All test items in the TestProject1 project.
  TestProject1\KeywordTests\Test1	The Test1 keyword test in the TestProject1 project.
  TestProject1\Script\Unit1\Test1	The Test1 script routine in the Unit1 script unit of the TestProject1 project.

• In the Custom Args field, you can enter custom command-line parameters to pass to TestComplete (TestExecute).

• Click Submit.

• You must have TestComplete 12 installed.

• The QAComplete Integration plugin must be enabled in TestComplete.

  Tip:	The plugin is installed and enabled automatically when you install TestComplete.

1. On your computer, start TestComplete and open a project suite that contains tests you want to add to QAComplete.

2. In Project Explorer in TestComplete, right-click the project suite, project, or test that you want to export and then click Export to QAComplete.

   TestComplete will open the Export TestComplete Test to QAComplete wizard. Follow the wizard instructions to add your tests to QAComplete.

You can also find information on exporting TestComplete tests to QAComplete in the TestComplete Documentation.

The TestComplete test will be added to the Test Library of your QAComplete project, to the folder you have selected during the exporting.

To view and configure the added test in QAComplete, open the Edit form for the test you have added and switch to the Automations tab.
