    Hi,

     

    You can use aqDateTime object:

     

    Sub Timer

    Dim t1, t2
    t1 = aqDateTime.Time
    aqUtils.Delay(2000)
    t2 = aqDateTime.Time
    Log.Message("Time difference: " & aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(t2-t1, "%H:%M:%S"))
    
End Sub

      Thank you, I find this too

       

      aqPerformance.Stop()

       

      aqPerformance.Start()

       

      does these methods do the same thing ?

       

      I need the time to be calculated when the script is running.

        Yes, you can do it using aqPerformance object, too. However it is not 100% exact, usually it takes few extra milliseconds to launch itself.

         

        Only note - there is no Stop() method, use Value property instead.

    This is basic stuff you can find in the online documentation or via the "Help" menu in TestComplete itself.

     

    https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqdatetime/methods.html

     

    Var1 = aqDateTime.Time

    >>> Do whatever you need to do <<<

    Var2 = aqDateTime.Time

     

    VarDiff = Var1 - Var2

     

    Would be one way. There are many others.

     

    You could use the built in VBScript one.

     

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a3fb2dtc(v=vs.84).aspx

     

    Var1 = Timer

    VarDiff  = Timer - Var1

     

    Like I say. This is basic stuff. Loads of ways to do it.
