Preparing TestComplete Tests That Take Parameters for Running in CrossBrowserTesting Environments

Use Test Items

Create a “Master” Test

1. In an appropriate TestComplete project, create a test item that will run the needed test:

   • Open the needed project in TestComplete.

   • Select View on the TestComplete main menu and then click Organize Tests. TestComplete will open the Test Items page of your project.

   • Click New Test Item on the page toolbar:

     

   • In the Execution entity column, click the ellipsis button and select the needed test in the resulting dialog:

     

2. Set the test parameters in the Parameters column on the Test Items page:

   

3. Add the created test item to the CrossBrowserTesting manager:

   

When you run tests in CrossBrowserTesting environments, the test items will run the needed tests with the specified parameters.

1. Create a script routine or a keyword test that you will use as a “master” test.

2. Add commands that will run your tests with the desired parameters to the created test:

   • To run a test from a keyword test, you can use the following operations:

     Run Keyword Test

     Run Script Routine

     Run Test

     Specify the parameters of the called test in the Operation Parameters dialog of the appropriate operation.

   • To run a keyword test from a script routine, use the KeywordTests.KeywordTest_Name.Run method.

   • To run a script routine from another script routine, call it by its name and pass the needed parameters enclosed in parentheses:

     JavaScript, JScript

     Python

     VBScript

     DelphiScript

     C#Script

     JavaScript, JScript

     function Test1(Param1, Param2, Param3)
     {
       …
     }
     
     function Main()
     {
       …
       Test1("Value1", 1, true);
       …
     }

     Python

     def Test1(Param1, Param2, Param3):
       …
     
     def Main():
       …
       Test1("Value1", 1, true)
       …
     

     VBScript

     Sub Test1(Param1, Param2, Param3)
       …
     End Sub
     
     Sub Main
       …
       Call Test1("Value1", 1, True)
       …
     End Sub

     DelphiScript

     procedure Test1(Param1, Param2, Param3);
     begin
       …
     end;
     
     procedure Main;
     begin
       …
       Test1('Value1', 1, true);
       …
     end;

     C#Script

     function Test1(Param1, Param2, Param3)
     {
       …
     }
     
     function Main()
     {
       …
       Test1("Value1", 1, true);
       …
     }

3. Add the created “master” test to the CrossBrowserTesting manager:

   

When you run the tests, the “master” test in CrossBrowserTesting environments will call the needed tests with the specified parameters.
