Picture capture time increases during test

I have to resort to text recognition to identify codejock tabs. To find the active tab I then need to test that the background colour of the text object is blue. The picture capture takes about 1 sec...

    Do you open one window form ontop of another?

    if you do that manually does application working memory increase?

    what if programmetical close entire application and open again?

Thanks NisHera,

 

Restarrting the test application at intervals did speed up the test run. It went from 23 minutes to 12 minutes.

Yes all forms open on top of eachother but the tab control is a separate code-jock object. None of the text objects that I am capturing overlap.

 

TestComplete finds the text object instantly. Only then do I want its picture so that I can get the colour of one pixel. It's a simple case of taking a screen shot with an x/y range defined by the text object. Even manually using PrintScreen and pasting the screen grab into Paint is faster than 19 seconds.

 

I don't know if this is an issue with TestComplete or the test application.

 

Thanks for your feedback.

I have experienced when there are complex forms, TC tends to take time to read objects. And probably seems delaying each other. In which case if close either TC or application it gets back on track. Don’t know whether it’s a memory leak or something.
