Same Test, Different Windows?

So, I'm trying to use my tests on windows xp to windows 7. I used Testexecute on windows 7 and the test failed. My question is: Can we use test on different windows?



Thanks

    Hi Jimmy,


    You can use the test on different versions of Windows. However, your test may require to be modified. For example, your test simulates opening some dialog and recognizes the dialog by its caption. In different operating systems, the dialog can have different captions. Thus, if the test runs successfully, for example, on Windows XP, it may fail on Windows 7. To avoid such problems, you can modify identification properties for the mapped object that corresponds to the dialog. This is just an example.


    To help us investigate the problem, please send us your test project and the application under test.
