TestComplete performance problems - testing PowerBuilder application

Hi All,<br /> <br /> We&#39;re using TC (9.20) to test a our PowerBuilder application. I&#39;m fairly new to TC, and wondered if anyone could offer help with the following headaches(!)....<br /> <br /> 1. When stepping through my script, if i have an object array in the watch list, TC becomes very slow as it refreshes the array values in the watch list with every step of code that I step through.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> 2. If I drill down through the objects in the object browser, as I get deeper TC becomes very slow, verging on completely unresponsive<br /> <br /> 3. When using the object spy (I tend to use the &quot;drag n drop&quot; option) - Dragging and dropping onto one object is normally fine, but then if I try and drag and drop on another object TC again becomes unresponsive, and I can&#39;t even close the spy window - I normally have to go to task manager and try to end the TC process (under applications, not processes) - at which point I can abort the termination, and TC is responsive again.<br /> <br /> Any help people can offer with these issues to get TC to run smoothly more of the time would be HUGELY welcomed!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

    Hi All,



    We're using TC (9.20) to test a our PowerBuilder application. I'm fairly new to TC, and wondered if anyone could offer help with the following headaches(!)....



    1. When stepping through my script, if i have an object array in the watch list, TC becomes very slow as it refreshes the array values in the watch list with every step of code that I step through.



    2. If I drill down through the objects in the object browser, as I get deeper TC becomes very slow, verging on completely unresponsive



    3. When using the object spy (I tend to use the "drag n drop" option) - Dragging and dropping onto one object is normally fine, but then if I try and drag and drop on another object TC again becomes unresponsive, and I can't even close the spy window - I normally have to go to task manager and try to end the TC process (under applications, not processes) - at which point I can abort the termination, and TC is responsive again.



    Any help people can offer with these issues to get TC to run smoothly more of the time would be HUGELY welcomed!

    Hi,



    We have released TestComplete 10, so I recommend that you install the latest version and check how it works for you.
