TestComplete and TestExecute performance problem

Hi Michał and all,



I located the file that caused the slow down of testing. It was a project name file *.mds located in the project catalog. I have created new Project Suite and New Project and put there all of Scripts, KeywordTests, NameMapping, Stores and TestedApps (without copying *.mds and *.mds.tcLS files). I have run tests and observed a significant acceleration of executions. One test took about 20 seconds! I copied the "fast" *.mds file to my original suita and tests are still executing fast.



I looked at the files *.mds (before and after operations which I mentioned) and what I saw is that the "slower" file contains a lot of nested tags:



        <Node name="test data">

            <Node name="child list">

                <Node name="item0000000000">

               ...

                </Node>

            </Node>



I think it is probably conected with Test Items (http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/56313/)



Greetings,

Konrad
