What You Need

Attendees should each have a machine with either TestComplete Enterprise or the Trial Edition installed so they can utilize the courseware and participate in the class. The Trial Edition does have some limitations but we can work around those issues for the training.

Prerequisites

You should attend this class if:

  • You have worked in a QA environment and want to learn the SmartBear approach using TestComplete.
  • You have used TestComplete and want to make your knowledge more comprehensive.
  • You have at least some prior scripting or programming experience

TestComplete is a development environment, complete with an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and programming languages. In this course you will not be simply clicking a few buttons and automatically recording your tests. Expect to perform development work, i.e. working with the IDE, writing script and working with relatively complex test configurations.

Attendees may ask questions using GotoWebinar's Instant Messaging type UI and answers will be provided either electronically or addressed by the trainer during the presentation.
