Has anyone had any joy creating and running tests on different size monitors

Hi all,   My colleague and I are responsible for creating and running tests in TestComplete for our Desktop application.   The problem we face is that we both have different size monitors/Laptops...

    I can't find the specific article at this moment... but I know that it's documented in the TestComplete documentation that, in order for tests to run consistently, the scaling needs to be the same on all environments.  So, you CAN run on different resolutions just fine... we do it all the time.  However, you need to make sure that the scaling is the same on all environments.  The resolution size (1024x768 versus whatever) is immaterial.... it's the scaling that is causing your issue.  Correct that, as documented, and you should be fine.

Hi,

 

We do have same short of scenarios with Java applications.

 

The main problem for us is scrolling.

When i was developing scripts for my AUT with big monitor i never seen any scroll bars in it.

 

Then i ran in the small size monitor it doesn't worked since it is not able scroll by own to see the objects.

 

By that time, I used to create scripts to handle that scrolls as well to cut off the false failures
