Regarding what got changed in the upgrade? - I'm not a developer, I'm a QA person. But as far as I can tell, this was a major upgrade. We went from V15 to V18 and I'm guessing nearly everything changed.
So am I... QA, testers, software validator, test engineer, etc... I don't develop the applications that I test.... howevre, as a software tester, it's my job to know what changed... it's how I know what areas to test for regression, it's how I know what to do in the way of testing new functionality, it's how I know what test cases to write and execute...
So, I think it would be a good idea for you to go have a chat with the developers. When you open that ticket to SmartBear, they are going to want to know the same thing... what was in version 15 that was changed so radically in version 18. Did components change? Did the platform that was used for developing the software change? Did the architecture change? If so, on any of these, how? TestComplete supports certain versions of components, platforms, etc, and different architectures require different ways of preparing the application to be able to recognize controls. Once we know the details of the changes, we can make suggestions as to how to, potentially, get around those problems.
