Action on object change if tested manually or with TestComplete

We are using TestComplete to test an application that has already some automation programmed in it. What happens is: at some point in the test the action of closing Window A triggers on Window B two clicks on a button that are executed by the tested application one after the other 10 seconds apart (Window B is not part of the tested application).  The issues is that this action is always executed when the test is done manually but is performed intermittently when using TestComplete (>95% of the time is not done).



Notes:

1. Our tested application process runs on top of another process and uses COM for the interprocess communications

2. We are currently testing in Win7 and notice the issue was less common before when we were using WinXP

3. We notice our tested application is sensitive to the parameter "Delay between events" and so we have modify it from 50msec to 1 sec (try also other values up to 20 sec)



Do anyone have any ideas to solve this issue ?

  • Hi Jorge,


     


    The behavior you described is strange. I would appreciate it if you recorded a video demonstrating the problem and send it to our TestComplete Support team along with your project. To record a video, you can use Jing - a free screen capture tool.
