Why TestComplete fails to recognized, previously recognized objects during regression testing.

During regression test of the scripts, noticed TestComplete fails to recognized the objects, which were recognized well in their previous runtime! Also, TestComplete cannot recognized objects which were on the screen from a long time, and if some modular scripts run depends upon those objects. Any solution of both the issues would be highly appreciated!

    Just out of curiosity, is the Object Spy tool able to recognise any of your UI controls, and is the control correctly highlighted? And, do these tests work locally on your machine?

  • Did your application under test get an update?

    Did you update TestComplete?

    Did you change computers for running the test?

    Did you change browsers for running the test?

    Did you change screen resolution?

     

    Many things can affect how TestComplete acts. Let's try to narrow it down.

      Hi Marsha_R -  Thanks for your response!  No changes have been made, all your 5 Q answer is no change at all, it's the regression test and now seems TestComplete fails to recognize most of the objects!

        You can try restarting the computer but it has been my experience in answering questions here on the forum that "nothing has changed" usually turns out to be that something did change that the tester wasn't aware of.  

         

        What version of TC are you running?
