    Hi there,

     

    Strange but true...

    After a few years with TC/Smartbear our managment has decided to switch to a competitor because of the lack of Powerbuilder support.

     

    And I'm afraid to say the competitor supports Powerbuilder much better than TC. I tried it for two weeks and everything I wanted to automated (tables too) worked out of the box.

    Unfortunately the handling and development support (no debugging, almost no refactoring functions) of the competitor is much worse but what counts is the Powerbuilder support.

     

    Thanks to the community for their support and hey, may be we will see us in the future again :-).

     

    Bye

      Add on: v.12.6 has the same Powerbuilder bugs as v.12.5.

      12.42 works best for us until we have fully switched to the competitor.
