What’s New and Enhanced in TestComplete 12

 

Object Search Strategy for Find Methods – This option will help search objects faster. There is an Option to choose between the depth-first and breadth-first search orders for Find methods.

This option is available at Project Property or alternatively you can use at runtime with

Options.Run.ObjectSearchStrategy = searchDepthFirst ' or Consts.searchDepthFirst
Options.Run.ObjectSearchStrategy = "Depth-first"

Object search strategy – Specifies the order in which TestComplete traverses the object tree when searching for an object using the Find methods.. Depending on your application, changing this option can speed up the search.

Possible values:

Depth-first – Search as deep as possible in each branch of the object tree before moving to the next branch. This is the default setting for projects created in TestComplete versions up to 11.

Breadth-first – Search level by level: start at a given object, search its direct child objects, then move to the next level child objects, and so on. This is the default setting for projects created in TestComplete 12.

Important to note

  • If you already have an active maintenance subscription for TestComplete, it is added to your account for use automatically
