Script to Stop and close TestComplete or TestExecute

Great thread — lots of solid tips already! 

Just to sum it up for anyone checking this out later: you can stop a test run with Runner.Stop() or Runner.Halt(), optionally close TestComplete (or TestExecute) using Sys.Process("TestComplete").Terminate() — or call a PowerShell script if you want a cleaner shutdown.

Here’s a quick example in JavaScript:

function checkConditionAndExit() {
  if (Project.Variables.MyFlag == true) {
    Log.Message("Condition met — stopping and closing TestComplete...");
    Runner.Stop(true);              // stop execution
  }
}

I’d still be careful with Terminate() — it’s basically the “pull the plug” option and can skip saving logs or logging out from license. If you’re running from the command line, the /exit flag is still the smoothest way to finish up.
