Region checkpoint
is there a way to make Region checkpoint, display hardware and display settings independent ? It would be of great help if i get a solution.

Champion Level 3I suggest reading How Image Comparison Works and Factors Affecting Image Comparison to better understand how image comparison works. Then agree on having all development machines set to a specific resolution, scaling etc for automation.
Okay, Thanks a lot for the link, let me go through it and come back.
At Anycase, coming back to the first question, is there any predefined, image processing logic that someone already is using to make the region checkpoint hardware independent ? or we have to live with the fact that when hardware changes, we need to update the checkpoint ?

I'm not aware of any functions/methods that can do this.
TestComplete's built-in image comparison is primarily pixel-based, so consistent environments (resolution, scaling, theme, etc.) are strongly recommended. Handling differences across environments usually requires either loosening comparison tolerances, focusing on specific regions, or using more advanced visual testing tools.
TestComplete does work best when environments are identical - same resolution, DPI scaling, OS theme, font rendering, etc.
Okay, thanks a lot for the info.
is there any link or resources that explains the options(focusing on specific regions, or using more advanced visual testing tools. ) elaborately or can you give some more infos on it ? i understand the "loosening comparison tolerances" option. thanks in advance.
