Name Property

Applies to TestComplete 15.0, last modified on November 17, 2021
The Network Suite functionality is deprecated. We don’t recommend using it for distributed testing. Consider using a CI/CD system for managing distributed tests. See Migrating Distributed Tests to CI/CD Systems for details. In case you need to run web tests on multiple environments in parallel, you can also try using your project’s Execution Plan.

Description

The Name property returns the unique name of the given task in the task collection of the particular job in the network suite (the Name property of the task). This name can be used to identify the task in this collection via the Tasks.ItemByName property.

Declaration

TaskObj.Name

Read-Only Property String
TaskObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a Task object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Property Value

A string that represents the unique name the given task has in the task collection of the job.

Example

The following code snippet obtains the tasks that belong to the specified job by their index and posts their names to the test log.

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{

  var JobName, Tasks, Count, i, Task;
  // Specifies the name of the job
  JobName = "MyJob";
  // Obtains the tasks that belong to the specified job
  Tasks = NetworkSuite.Jobs.ItemByName(JobName).Tasks;
  // Determines how many tasks the job contains
  Count = Tasks.Count;
  if (Count > 0)
    {
    Log.AppendFolder("The job contains the following tasks:");
    // Iterates through the tasks
    for (i = 0; i <Count; i++)
      {
      // Obtains the task by its index
      Task = Tasks.Items(i);
      // Posts the task’s name to the test log
      Log.Message(Task.Name);
      }
    Log.PopLogFolder();
    }
}

Python

def Test():
  # Specifies the name of the job
  JobName = "MyJob"
  # Obtains the tasks that belong to the specified job
  Tasks = NetworkSuite.Jobs.ItemByName[JobName].Tasks
  # Determines how many tasks the job contains
  Count = Tasks.Count
  if Count > 0:
    Log.AppendFolder("The job contains the following tasks:")
    # Iterates through the tasks
    for i in range(0, Count):
      # Obtains the task by its index
      Task = Tasks.Items[i]
      # Posts the task's name to the test log
      Log.Message(Task.Name)
    Log.PopLogFolder()

VBScript

Sub Test

  Dim JobName, Tasks, Count, i, Task
  ' Specifies the name of the job
  JobName = "MyJob"
  ' Obtains the tasks that belong to the specified job
  Set Tasks = NetworkSuite.Jobs.ItemByName(JobName).Tasks
  ' Determines how many tasks the job contains
  Count = Tasks.Count
  If Count > 0 Then
    Log.AppendFolder("The job contains the following tasks:")
    ' Iterates through the tasks
    For i = 0 To Count - 1
      ' Obtains the task by its index
      Set Task = Tasks.Items(i)
      ' Posts the task’s name to the test log
      Log.Message(Task.Name)
    Next
    Log.PopLogFolder
  End If

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var JobName, Tasks, Count, i, Task;
begin

  // Specifies the name of the job
  JobName := 'MyJob';
  // Obtains the tasks that belong to the specified job
  Tasks := NetworkSuite.Jobs.ItemByName[JobName].Tasks;
  // Determines how many tasks the job contains
  Count := Tasks.Count;
  if Count > 0 then
    begin
    Log.AppendFolder('The job contains the following tasks:');
    // Iterates through the tasks
    for i := 0 to Count -1 do
      begin
      // Obtains the task by its index
      Task := Tasks.Items[i];
      // Posts the task’s name to the test log
      Log.Message(Task.Name);
      end;
    Log.PopLogFolder();
    end;
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test()
{

  var JobName, Tasks, Count, i, Task;
  // Specifies the name of the job
  JobName = "MyJob";
  // Obtains the tasks that belong to the specified job
  Tasks = NetworkSuite["Jobs"]["ItemByName"](JobName)["Tasks"];
  // Determines how many tasks the job contains
  Count = Tasks["Count"];
