AutomatedQA is happy to announce that a maintenance release is now available for TestComplete: TestComplete ver.6.50.

This minor update includes new exciting features. One of the greatest improvements is the new script extensions technology.Using it you can easily create custom plug-ins for TestComplete in VBScript and JScript. These plug-ins can extend TestComplete’s object model with new objects and insert new commands into the Recording and Tools toolbars. These commands can, for example, assist you in creating checkpoints or in performing other chore operations at record- and design-time. Also TestComplete includes sample package that demonstrates the use of these extensions.

The new version also offers lots of new scripting objects that help you work with files, folders, strings, numbers and so on. Most of these objects’ functionality was taken from the Built-In and Utilities objects, and the appropriate methods and properties of these objects have become obsolete now. The new scripting objects are available to scripts and script extensions.
