Is TestComplete v8.70 slower than v8.60?

Hi Thomas,

We are not aware of such a problem with TestComplete 8.70.

The first thing that I would suggest is to check out whether there is some plug-in that causes the slowdown. You can disable all plug-ins you do not need for your testing and see whether this improves the performance. Here is the list of the plug-ins you can try disabling:

.NET Open Application Support

Adobe Flex Controls Support

Delphi and C++ Builder Open Applications Support

Firefox Support Plug-in

Java Open Applications Support

MSAA Open Applications

Microsoft Visual C++ Open Applications Support

QT Library Support Plug-in

Silverlight Open Application Support

UI Automation Support Plug-in

Visual Basic Open Applications

NOTE: when you disable the plug-ins, TestComplete will warn you that there are some other plug-ins that will not work. Click Yes in the dialog that asks whether you want to disable those plug-ins, as well.

If this does not help, please send us your TestComplete project along with the results of its execution by versions 8.60 and 8.70 of the tool.
