TestComplete - Manual testing
Manual testing is performed by the tester who carries out all of the actions on the tested application manually, step-by-step and indicates whether a particular step was accomplished successfully or whether it failed. Manual testing is always a part of any testing effort. It is especially useful in the initial phase of software development, when the software and its user interface are not stable and beginning automation does not make sense.
TestComplete gives you the opportunity to create and manage manual tests when testing your application. After adding a Manual Tests project item to your TestComplete project, you can create a collection of steps to be performed when the application is being tested, with a description and detailed instructions for each step.
When a manual test is running, the dialog describing the current step is shown on the screen. This dialog holds information on the step being performed. The dialog allows the tester to stop testing or indicate whether the step was accomplished successfully or whether it failed. For instance, the following picture displays a step dialog.
After the manual test is finished, its results are posted to the log.
TestComplete also allows managing manual tests from script. This
opportunity is implemented with the help of the ManualTesting program object.
TestComplete also provides a number of events which you can use to perform
specific actions on each step of a manual test, when the test finishes and for specifying
the test result (fail or success).
