TestComplete 12.4 Beta - Looking for Testers
Greetings Testers,
We are looking for customers who are ready to work closer with our product Team within next several weeks. We are releasing the beta version of TestComplete 12.4 very soon - ...
Forum Discussion
No, that has to do with the EnvironmentManager feature (the integration with CrossBrowserTesting). As I understand it, it means that CBT via TestComplete can now utilize items that are not necessarily in the direct path of the project. This isn't related to script code, "requires", etc.
Gotcha. Thanks!
Another <dumb> question:
If we download the 64bit TC, will it be backwards compatible with the project suites we created via 32bit TC?
Has anyone tried the 64bit version and seen performance improvements?
Thanks!
Your existing project suites should be compatible with the 64bit version of TC. The only thing to watch out for, is if you are doing data driven testing, you may have to update the Microsoft Data Access driver to a 64bit version. You will receive a detailed message if this incompatibility occurs running your tests and the help documentation provides information on how to resolve.
Performance and handling will especially be improved with larger project files. I'd be interested in feedback, as we look to release the updated TestComplete version next week!
The only version I got in my beta work is the 32-bit version so I can't speak to any of that.

I also thought so... But there is another TestComplete executable in the <Program Files (x86)>\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\x64\Bin\ folder and if started, it presents itself as 64-bit in Help|About and in the Task Manager.
Well... Will try my best to play with it before the Beta ends...Well, I took a look at the shortcuts I'm using to run the TC beta... and it looks like, because I'm running a 64 bit OS, it automatically set me up to run the 64-bit version of TC... so, I've been testing the 64-bit version without even knowing it... this should attest to the stability of the 64-bit version, it's backwards compatibility with existing projects (I've not seen any adverse effects), etc...
I can't say anything about performance improvement because I wasn't looking for it. But I can attest that the 64-bit version should at least be seamless as an upgrade.
