Hi,
And, as a side note...
Your code and my comments in italics:
If (BrowserName="Firefox")Then
Browsers.Item("firefox").RunOptions = "-P ""Tester""" ' This does not start browser
Sys.Browser.BrowserWindow(0).Maximize ' This code will use any running browser (if any) because no browser was started explicitly
ElseIf (BrowserName="InternetExplorer")Then
Browsers.Item("iexplore", "11", Browsers.pX64).Run URL
Sys.Browser.BrowserWindow(0).Maximize ' same note as for FireFox
ElseIf (BrowserName="Edge")Then
Browsers.Item(btEdge).Navigate(URL) ' as per documentation, .Navigate() does not start the browser, so I'm doubting that this line will work
Sys.Browser.BrowserWindow(0).Maximize ' again, this does not guarantee that expected browser will be affected
ElseIf (BrowserName="Chrome")Then
Browsers.Item(btChrome).Navigate(URL)
Sys.Browser("chrome").BrowserWindow(0).Maximize
Log.Checkpoint("Browser Name: "&BrowserName) ' by definition, passed checkpoint means succeeded comparison/expected behavior. There is no verification either here or above. What is the reason to log succeeded checkpoint to test log?
Log.Checkpoint("URL: "&URL)
End If
Browsers.Refresh ' what is the reason to refresh the list of existing browsers if none of them was (re)installed?
Hi AlexKaras ,
Thanks.. I got your point but I Stuck here as I do'nt know what should do exactly in the function.
Can you please tell me a bit the right way to start browser function. so it will execute successfully on CBT and normal execution.

Hi,
OK, got it. :)
> Can you please tell me [...]
I wish I could... Really...
I tried CBT only when it was initially introduced in TestComplete several years ago. For TestComplete CBT supported only desktops with desktop browsers which I was not really interested at as I was looking for mobiles support. Thus I did not renew my trial CBT account. With the scalable web testing support introduced in TC 14.4 Beta I am thinking to try CBT one more time but still not sure as I think that scalable web still misses some important functionality which, I believe, will be implemented in version 14.5.
So I would recommend to investigate this yourself or ask CBT support. (And I will really appreciate it if you update this thread with the results.)
Right now I am tending to join Robert's explanation that with CBT you are getting only the browser that you requested. I am not sure whether or not it is started by default. Also I am not sure how to check if the test is running in the CBT environment or not. In the worst case you should be able to set some flag (Project Variable?) before starting tests in CBT.
I hope that you should be able to use Browsers object to find available browsers and, in combination with the above flag, start a proper browser.
