    Hi,

    There are many options available in TestComplete to achieve this.

    1) Project and project set variables
    Use temporary variables to configure a specific environment for your tests. For example:
    a) Create a variable (str) -> "app1".
    b) Send its value by cmd
    c) use onTestStart to perform the correct operation

     

    2) CI - If you are using software like Jenkins, you can always pass the value by cmd and follow step 1.

     

    3) Divide your whole project into two smaller ones and inside it:
    a) Use file references
    b) or If you have a big difference create another project -> copy files to -> and use one nameMapping file with a specific configuration for the value.

     

    4)
    "In addition, I need to restore the appropriate database under each project when I turn on and off the new option. Is there any global parameter/setting that can help me achieve this output".

    Install the correct driver -> connect to DB -> run the script and you are ready to work.

    Remember that you can always store temporary data between tests in an external file like .json or excel file.
