You should attend this class if:
TestComplete is a development environment, complete with an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and programming languages.

About this Webinar

This training is presented using GotoWebinar (see below for details) where attendees have a live preview of the trainer's desktop at all times. 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. Due to the nature of webinars attendees will remain on mute during the call.

Unlike our other TestComplete training offerings this class does not include hands-on labs so you should set aside time at the conclusion of each session to work in the product and utilize the features covered during the training.
