    Hi Hamed,


    There are two plug-ins in TestComplete: the HTTP Load Testing plug-in and the Network Suite plug-in.


    The first one allows you to test client-server applications that communicate using HTTP or Secure HTTP. TestComplete emulates up to 300 virtual users on each computer involved in testing. If you are interested in this approach, please read the "Load Testing - Overview" (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=12628) help topic - it includes links to other help topics.


    The second plug-in performs distributed testing of the server application through the GUI of a number of client applications. You can simulate as many users as many computers are involved in the testing process: the client application will be launched on each computer, and the script on the master machine will control the activity of every client. Please see the "Distributed Testing" (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=12315) topic of the Help system for details.


    Also, please see the following pages for more information:

    http://automatedqa.com/products/testcomplete/tc_distributed_testing.asp

    BTW, TestComplete is not supposed to be used to measure performance of desktop applications. AQtime, which is our profiling tool, can be used for that purpose.

    hi



    thanks a lot for previous posts .

    now i wanna compare TC5    with TC8 .

    iam in data driven testing and working on error exception handling.

    in version 5,when an error arise,it can resune next step and it works properly.

    but in version 8,it stops and doesn't continue to next step.

    how can i do this test like version 5 to handle errors and resume next step?

    would you please guide me to have good settings in order to do this ?

    thanks a lot  again

    Hi Hamed,


    Thank you for clarifying your request. Currently, TestComplete provides support only for performance/stress testing of applications which communicate via HTTP.

        Check your project settings: the option "Stop on error" should be disabled
