v8.7 [Jan 26, 2012]
Google Chrome support. TestComplete now supports testing web applications in Google Chrome (in addition to Internet Explorer and Firefox). This enables companies to more easily verify the quality, functionality and consistent user experience of their web applications across multiple browsers.TestComplete allows testers to record and play back tests in Chrome, create a wide range of verifications for web page contents as well as individual elements, attributes and styles, images, URL link validity and much more. Access to underlying DOM elements is also provided, which allows for advanced verifications, direct method calls and JavaScript invocation.
Mozilla Firefox 7, 8 and 9 support. This release also adds support for the recent versions of Mozilla Firefox for web application testing.
Accessing Firefox UI elements by XPath. The UIPage object has the EvaluateXPath method which allows retrieving Firefox UI controls using XPath notation.
Passing command-line arguments to tested browsers. Web pages in Tested Applications now have an option to specify custom command-line arguments for the browser. For example, you can use the -profile argument for Mozilla Firefox to start the browser with a specific user profile.
Enhanced Support for Adobe AIR and Rich Internet Applications

Adobe Flash Player 11 support. Now you can record and play back tests for Adobe Flash and Flex applications running in Adobe Flash Player 11.

Other Improvements
Testing WCF services. TestComplete now offers automated functional testing of WCF services. You can create automated keyword tests and scripts that will call WCF service methods (including those using complex data types) and verify the returned data with checkpoints. Now you also can test your web and WCF services within a single test project.
Improved support for third-party controls. TestComplete 8.70 adds support for the recent releases of popular third-party UI libraries and controls:

This allows for more stable function calls that may return strings without a terminating character and containing redundant trailing characters.
