Hi Nathan,



As usual, full backup of test project is the best approach. :)

After you backed everything up, you may upgrade and I would advice to check if everything works as previously before making any significant changes in the test project.

If you decide to rollback, you have to use a created backup where you may replace script units with the ones from the upgarded project. This is the only thing that can be done without any risk (if you haven't implemented something that is specific for the version you are downgrading from). For all other test project items (which are xml-files), TestComplete makes changes during upgrade and you may or may not be able to (easily) roll these changes back. That is why I am suggesting to fully check if everything works as previously after upgrade and only then continue with project evolving.

Thanks Alex,



This was a painful lessons learned on upgrading. Lucky before I made any upgrade specific changes to my projects I was able to downgrade back to 10.2 from 10.3.



I will take your advice next time when upgrading to backup all my projects first then do more extensive testing on script execution before upgrading other machines or making any code or feature changes in the upgrade.



I am not sure why 10.3 did not working for me, could be on our side the way we built the App or the upgrade itself.



I will continue to work with Support and our DEVs to try to resolve.



Thank toy
