Test routines takes too long to start!
Hi, I'm using TestComplete 12 (12.50.4142.7 x64 more exactly) to test Java desktop applications over Delphi script language, and my project tests are taking about 2 or 3 minutes to definitely sta...

Thanks tristaanogre. In our project of automated tests, the tested application is a Checkout, that is, a very big software with a lot of features.. To comport all those features, we work with a kind of layer-design, modularizing all the content in Lib (common unit files used by others automated test projects), Mapeamento (is a Mapping of TestComplete recorded actions of all applications features and functions, subcategorized by frames) and the Testes (this one is where all the test procedures are in, centralized)..
We already make every effort to ensure the modularization and reuse of code in order to facilitate the maintenance of our tests, but to ensure the coverage of our application tests, necessarily our test project has grown a lot.
Yeah, at some point, you get to be at the mercy of the code.
I'm not sure this is an option... but there might be a different code language other than DelphiScript which may trigger faster. Probably a major project to convert to JavaScript or Python.
Another thing is to start looking and seeing if there's more efficient ways of writing the code. If there are a lot of If-Then blocks, could they be combined into a Case statement? Few lines, generally, IIRC. In any case, at this point, it's all code tweaks as far as I know.
