Browser & TC10 Very Slow During Recording

I am creating a test where I go to a web page in Chrome 44, navigate around, then close the browser. When I record, TC10 runs very slow. Many times, it just hangs/crashes and I have to kill it through task manager. 

 

It is also very slow if Chrome is open and TC is open, and I'm in TC changing an action from Keys to Set Text for example.

 

I can only use Keyword tests. 

 

Does anyone have any advice?

 

Thanks,

 

Heidi

  • First thing to try is disable unused plugins. TestComplete switches them all on by default.

     

    Switch them all off and just enable the ones you need (from memory, a web based test is unlikely to need more than half a dozen). If you're not sure which ones you need (most are obvious), just switch on the ones you think you need, then try running it. If it doesn't run, re-examine the ones you need switched on. But, as I say, 5 or 6 is usually enough for a web test unless your site is built from something crazy ....
