Chris,
The operating system generates certain notifications when it detects an unhandled exception in the application. The way the operating system responds to this notification is specified by a certain Registry key. By default, the OS calls the program that displays the error message and suggests sending data to Microsoft. TestComplete can detect this notification and command Windows to generate a dump file. Since the exception is processed, TestComplete does not display any window and, according to the project settings, stops or continues running the test.
You said that the exception does not occur when you are testing your app manually. This may happen for the following reasons:
* During the manual testing you don't perform the same operations as your TestComplete test does.
* The Registry does not specify the standard program for handling exceptions.
I'd suggest that you examine the dump file with some of your developers to determine if an error exists in your application.
If everything seems to work fine, I'd suggest that you contact our Support Team and send them the dump file along with an issue description. Our guys will look into the file to check if it is something in TestComplete that causes the issue.
