Iteration Property

Applies to TestComplete 14.72, last modified on April 22, 2021

Description

Each test item can be executed several times, as specified by the Count property. The Iteration property returns the iteration index for the currently running TestItemObj item.

Iteration takes values in the range 0...Count. If the test item is not currently running, Iteration is equal to 0. The Iteration property of a test item is greater than 0 when TestComplete is running that item’s child items. That is, the Iteration property lets you determine if an item is currently running.

To get a reference to the currently running test item, use the TestItems.Current property.

Declaration

Project TestItemObj.Iteration

Read-Only Property Integer
Project TestItemObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a Project TestItem object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Project TestItem

Property Value

An integer which means the index of the test item’s current iteration.

Example

The following example iterates through a project’s test items and posts their properties to the test log:
