Applies To

The property is applied to the following objects:

Property Value

A string that specifies the path to the executable of the desired browser.

Remarks

• Tested applications of the Web type are obsolete and are supported for backward compatibility only. To launch a web browser from tests, use the Run Browser keyword test operation or the Browsers.Item(...).Run scripting method.

• If you assign a value to this property, TestComplete will treat your project as modified. So, you will need to save or cancel changes when closing the project. The specified value will be displayed in the TestedApps editor.

• To specify the property value, you can use project and project suite variables as well as the operating system’s environment variables.

  The project or project suite variables must be of the string type. To refer to them, use the following syntax --

  $(var_name)

  --for example, “$(MyVar1)”.

  Note:

  When evaluating the value of the property, TestComplete first searches for the specified variable in the project variables, then in the project suite variables. Please keep this in mind if you have project and project suite variables with the same names.

  To refer to environment variables, use the following syntax --

  %var_name%

  -- for example, %Path%.

  Note that variables can refer to each other, for instance, a project variable may include a reference to an environment variable. TestComplete will recursively analyze the variables and form the resulting value that does not contain variable names.
