Has any one installed TestComplete 12.5 ? How is the experience ?

 

Thanks

      Thank you for the updates . How about the TestExecute ? Will TestExecute 12.42 work with testComplete 12.5 ?

       

      Thanks

        The short answer to this question is: yes... with some caveats.

         

        The longer answer:

         

        I haven't fully explored it yet but there is one thing that I've found that makes projects that have been converted to 12.5 not work well with 12.42.  As AlexKaras has mentioned, the NameMapping file has had some internal structural conversion.  Specifically, conditional name mapping is in a different format in 12.5  than it is in 12.42.  So, if you are using conditional name mapping and have converted your project, you will lose that conditional mapping if you try and run your project in 12.42.  My recommendation, at this point, is that if you're using conditional mapping in any point in your project, you should upgrade everything (TestComplete and TestExecute both) to version 12.5.
