TestExecute - Long pause between test runs

Hi all,

I have recently did a maintenance update on many of my UI test machines (installing windows updates, Install latest TE and TC version) and suddenly all my machines seems to be a lot slower at running my tests. 

For instance tests that used to run for 30min would now take more than 1h30 to run.

What I notice while monitoring the VM is that once a test is launched, the test is done quickly, but when moving on to the other test there seems to be a pause of 1min before the other test is actually trigger.

I am currently investigating things like anti-virus (but which i need to wait for IT intervention), TE version etc but was wondering if anyone ever experienced this and may be able to provide guidance/ideas of what could be interfering with TE.

 

Thank you.

    What happens when you run the same test project locally in TC?  Do you have logging setup to log test start and end times?  Sorry to answer your question with more questions.   

    • One way to start would be to add logging everywhere until you see thew line of code where it stalls.
    • I use the performance monitoring capabilities in TC to watch the performance specs from TC.

    I know there's a number off issues with TC v15.72.60.7. It might be best to revert back to a previous version of TC - one that was working before!

    Since you had lots of simultaneous updates and to help you isolate and narrow down which update to further investigate. I suggest as rraghvani suggest revert back TestComplete installation to the previously working version.

    If reverting back solves the issue you can report it to support, and if it does not you can proceed to investigate your windows environment.
