TestComplete operates with test projects and project suites. A project is a starting point for creating tests. It contains your tests, baseline data for checkpoints, information about tested applications, and other items needed to perform testing. The project also defines the execution sequence of multiple tests and contains a cumulative log of all test runs since the start of the project.

One project could contain all the tests for your application. For complex applications, you may choose to devote a project to just one part of the application and other projects to other parts (normally, modules).

Related projects can be united into a project suite that contains one or more projects. TestComplete automatically generates a project suite when you create a new project. You can also create empty project suites and use TestComplete dialogs to fill the suite with the desired project files later.

Project items are project elements that perform or assist in performing various testing operations. Besides project items, your projects can also include helper files like Excel or .csv files with test data.

You can view and manage projects, project suites, and project items in the TestComplete Project Explorer panel:
