Hi everyone! Since the latest release, all my test case are slowing down compared to TC 15.52. For example the same Test : with 15.52 : And with TC 15.53 : All operations are much slower. like Sys.Keys("some text"). With TC 15.52, it takes 0.17s. With TC 15.53, 0.49s.Overall, the execution time has been multiplied by 3.for the moment, I have to revert to TC15.52.Do you know where this can come from?

Great news ! TC 15.55 fix the slow down issue. Everything run fine and "fast" with this version. Problem solved !

I'm not sure what your test cases do, but I have noticed when using ClickItem method, it will iterate through the list of items to select the appropriate item. For example, if I had 160 items in my list and I want to select the very last item, it will iterate through all 159 and then select 160 item. How it goes about selecting the item, is slow.

I've opened a ticket for this issue.

  That issue i also noticed but that is not the case, I am talking about 15.53 version and in that every operation is taking too much time. Below you can check for same test taken10 times much time in 15.53 version. Also i had raised support ticket for that lets see till when they will resolve it.
  
  TC version 15.52.2.7 (Time take: 59 seconds)
  
  TC version 15.53.2.7 (Time taken: 9 minutes 2 seconds)

I don't use ClickItem method.

All my scripts are using simple method like Click, DblClick, Sys.Keys etc... If I had to iterate something, I do it in my own way.

The point I was trying to make is that ClickItem method should not be iterating through the list of items, it should just click the item, as it did in TC v15.53.2.7 (and previous versions).

It's one issue that I have noticed, which I'm able to replicate, that has slowed down.

For some more information about this issue:
In my TestComplete script (J-script), I have a lot of commands in succession: ".Click" and ".Keys".
This is slowing down at least 5 times than the previous TestComplete version (5.52).
And... we pay a lot of money for the license. So, I expect more quality...

Today I found that the test is working normal and not slowing down. Did anyone else also observed that ?

I would suggest it would be good if we all raise support request for it as I already raised with Support team, but i guess SmartBear not able to reproduce it till now.

I have already done this. I can't use TC 15.53 or 15.54. These versions are really too slow. My tests campaign take more than 1 hour with these and 23min with 15.52.

Earlier I had checked the slow issue in 15.53 again and that was working fine at that time. So i will again check that after update as currently not updated yet.

I request everyone who is facing this issue to raise support ticket to SmartBear as they are not able to reproduce earlier also and again in new version same issue. Then what is the benefit of using license/paid based tool.
