TestComplete supports testing of various jQuery Mobile controls. You can also modify project properties so that TestComplete recognizes your custom jQuery Mobile controls. The sections below describe how you can test jQuery Mobile controls in detail.
About jQuery Mobile Controls
TestComplete can work with any web control via the control’s graphical user interface displayed in a web browser, no matter how the control is implemented on the server side. You can test web applications that use controls implemented by using various technologies and frameworks, including jQuery.
Besides, TestComplete provides extended support for most of jQuery Mobile controls. It automatically associates them with special scripting test objects that contain supplementary methods and properties for working with the controls, for example, for selecting individual items and retrieving the item text.
