TC9 Recording Issues

I'm using TC9 for web testing purpose on IE8. I'm encountering performance issues with recording tests.

    1.       The object spy is slow to respond in general. It becomes highly unresponsive (initial ‘highlight’ of an object takes about 15 seconds) when working with dialog boxes, such as the upload file dialog box.



Non-performance related issues


    1.       Having difficulty with actions on dialog windows. The address path on the upload file dialog is not being set. However, TC9 marks the operation as successful. TC9 can highlight the address path, but cannot set text properly. I get status of waiting to SetText(“text”) and TC becomes unresponsive for 30-50 seconds; can’t cancel the test.

    2.       Actions on dialog boxes are not being made when recording.

        a.       Workaround is to use the visualizer images to record test actions.



I have the option to record over tested apps turned off.



Is anyone else running into these issues?

    The browser object has too many issues at this moment and it's preventing me from creating tests. Currently, I have a tested app that points to a URL and I turned on the option to record over tested apps only. However, this prevents any actions from being recorded or added onto tests. If I turn off the option, it starts using the brower object, which I don't want to use at this time.



    Is there a way to record tests in TC9 the TC8 way?

    Hi Carlos,


     


    As far as I understand, you want to disable using the Browser method in TestComplete, right? For this, enable the Use legacy web testing features option. Go through the "Project Properties - Web Testing Options" article to learn more details.


    As for the problem you faced, I suggest that you check whether they persist in TestComplete 9.10 (the latest product version), and, if they do, report them to our Support team via our Contact Support form.

    I am having major issues with this too and I am not recording web page actions (.NET tested desktop app).  I cannot right click on anything at all - the right click menu simply wont ever display, and the recorded actions seem to have almost no relevence to what I actually did.

    Hi Kim,


     


    I think your issue isn't related to the original one. Could you please create an individual thread for yours? Specify the problem in detail there:


    - what web control is used in your .NET app?


    - post a sample of the recorded script;


    - etc.
