The manual testing functionality is deprecated. Do not use it for creating new tests. It will be removed in a future TestComplete release. |
Description
Using the ManualTestBuilder object you can create manual tests from scripts. The ManualTestBuilder object is available if the Manual Test Builder plugin is installed in TestComplete.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to create a new manual test, specify its name, add steps to it and save the test to a file.
JavaScript, JScript
function CreateManualTest()
{
// Clears the test properties
ManualTestBuilder.Reset();
// Specifies the test name
ManualTestBuilder.Name = "NewManualTest";
// Creates the root step of the test
var RootStep = ManualTestBuilder.Root;
// Specifies the root step properties
RootStep.ID = "RootStep";
RootStep.Caption = "Manual Test";
RootStep.IsXMLContent = false;
RootStep.InstructionsText = "Click Begin Test";
...
// Adds new substeps and specifies their properties
var TestStep = RootStep.AddSubstep();
TestStep.Id = "STEP_1";
TestStep.Caption = "Step 1";
TestStep.Enabled = true;
TestStep.IsXMLContent = false;
TestStep.InstructionsURL = "C:\\Work Folder\\Manual Tests\\Step1.htm";
...
// Saves the created test to a file
ManualTestBuilder.Save("C:\\Work Folder\\Manual Tests", true);
}
