ActiveFocus is a Web-based project management application that unites project teams for peak performance whether they are located in the same office or across the world. The application, which is scalable and can be tailored to any business model, provides a complete overview of each project and and enables teams to capture all the details that are important to them.

ActiveFocus has a powerful built in Free Text Search capability.

In most projects, you will want to subdivide your project into separate phases, steps, milestones, iterations or whatever it is you call them. We will call them Milestones.

You can specify how many rows you want to see in your main grids.

At the end of an event/milestone if you entered defects against a project, you will typically need to review your bugs. Here is an example of how to use the filter to do this.

There are many times when looking over the Test Log after an unsuccessful test it would be useful to know the state of the machine at the time of the error. In particular, it would be nice to see a picture of the desktop (or your application under test) at the time of error being posted to the log. Now, if you are doing the error posting from you script, it is easy as one of the parameters for Log.Error allows for posting a picture. But if, TestComplete posts the error it is harder. The best method I have found is to use the OnLogError event of TestComplete and post a message just before the error with the picture.
