Hey,
we just released new version of Test Adapter.
Best regards,

When running tests in DevOps (probably Microsoft Azure DevOps) and having problems with the TestComplete Test Adapter (v15.53.9), it's important to explore step by step to find and fix the problems. Here are some general ways to deal with the problems:
1. Check Compatibility: Make sure that the version of TestComplete Test Adapter you are using is compatible with the version of TestComplete you have loaded. Compatibility problems can sometimes cause people to act in strange ways.
2. Installing and setting it up:
Make sure the TestComplete Test Adapter is installed and set up properly in your Azure DevOps environment. Check the settings again, such as the path to the TestComplete executable and any other important setup settings.
3. Building and deploying:
Make sure that your build and deployment pipeline includes your test project and any TestComplete files and tools that it needs. Make sure that the right things are being copied to the right places.
4. **Environment of the agent:**
If you're running the tests with agents, make sure the agent setup is set up correctly. Check that TestComplete has all of the dependencies and permissions it needs to work properly.
5. Logs of how tests were run:
In Azure DevOps, look at the logs that are made when tests are run. These logs can tell us a lot about any mistakes or problems that came up during the test run.
6. Messages of error:
Pay close attention to any problem messages or warnings that come up while running the test. These messages can often help you figure out what's wrong and how to fix it.
7. Questions about the path and file:
Make sure that all of the file paths and references in your test project are correct and can be reached from the area where the project is built and deployed. Problems with file names can make it impossible to run a test.
8. Licences for TestComplete:
Make sure that the TestComplete licences in the locations where you want to run the tests are valid and turned on. Licence problems can make it so that TestComplete can't run tests.
Permissions for the agent: Make sure that the user or service account that is running the agent has the rights to access the TestComplete installation and any other related resources.
10. Connectivity to the network:
If your tests involve network interactions, make sure that the test environment has the necessary network connection and access to external resources.
11. Add-ons for Azure DevOps:
Check to see if the TestComplete Test Adapter add-on for Azure DevOps has any changes or patches. Known problems might be fixed by installing the latest version.
12. The community and help:
If you've taken the steps above and are still having trouble, you could ask for help in the TestComplete community forums or through SmartBear, the company that makes TestComplete. Depending on your position, they might be able to help you in a certain way.
Keep in mind that fixing integration problems can be hard, and it's important to get as much information as you can to find the cause.
