TestComplete supports testing of various Ext JS controls. The sections below describe how you can test these controls in detail.
About Testing Sencha Ext JS ControlsAbout Testing Sencha Ext JS 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 Ext JS.
Besides, TestComplete provides extended support for most of Ext JS 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.
