TestComplete 9.0 Performance

Hi,



I installed TestComplete 9.0 and TestExecute 9.0 on my PCs, both are running in parallel to version 8.7.

After the first few testruns I encouter a serious slip in performance with the new version.



1.

I compared some testruns, that are almost identical. with TC9.0 three testitems needed 13, 6 and 12 minutes instead of 7, 3 and 7 minutes. (see attached excel file)

I compared in detail and noticed, that the function logGenesisLog() is way slower with TestComplete 9.0!

This function reads an ascii-file and searches for errors. (the files are not really big)

(I will re-run the test with TC8.7 to have more facts)



2.

Opening Checkpoints is way slower! when I open a checkpoint in my test, this takes 30-40 seconds with TC9.0, while it took < 5 seconds with TC8.7.



Are these known issues or am I the only one having this problems?



Kind regards,



Joachim

    Hi Joachim


    To investigate the issue, we need to reproduce it. Could you please send the problematic project suite to our Support Team?


    Thanks in advance

    We are experiencing a strange performance problem with TestComplete9 as well. This simple call that was working fine before in TC8 is now taking a full minute.



    ...WaitWinFormsObject('MessageBoxExForm', 5000).Exists()



    Strangely it works as expected when run on it's own (only takes 5-10 seconds). Only when called from another procedure does TestComplete9 hang for a minute. I have to make some time to look into this more before I send in a support request but I thought it would be good to share in case others are seeing this.

    Hi Adam,



    that sounds familiar. I've submitted an issue to the support and will inform you on updates to the issue.

    I assume, that at least in my case it is something with the namemapping-structure...



    Right now I continue using TC 8.7 because of the performance issue.



    Kind regards,



    Joachim
