    Hi,

     

    I am using the latest version 14.72.408.7 x64.

    Actually, current latest version is 14.72.485 though I don't think this would make a difference.

    As no one here can provide you with any piece of advice I would ask Support via the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/message/ form.

     

    The approach that you described in your initial post is a valid one and can be used if your test is working with the same static data. IIRIC, Web Table checkpoint stores data snapshot when created and then just does a plain compare of the saved data against the actual current table data.

    Personally I don't like the approach when tests are executed over static data (restored/re-generated before every test run), but prefer to have test code that can take any data that already exist and use/work with them. Web Table checkpoint cannot work with dynamic data and this is the reason of why I don't use (practically) any data checkpoint provided by TestComplete.
