Compiling apps with debug info : a parallel version for each app ?

Hi,

I would like to have a confirmation about this issue :

We compile and sell our softwares without debug info of course. But tests cannot be run on this version.

Do we have to make parralel versions of our apps, one to be sold and another with debug info for the only purpose to be tested ?

Regards,

Mehdi

    Hi Mehdi,

    Generally speaking, no, you should not.

    Depending on the language used to create your application, you should build with the standalone debug information and ship without it.

    If the debug information is included in the final executable, it (debug information) can be extracted using the StripTDS utility installed with TestComplete (see TestComplete help for more information about it).
