Region Checkpoint in TestComplete 8.7 are not working across machines

Customer ID: A38952



Region Checkpoint in TestComplete 8.7 are not working across machines



I captured the region checkpoint on Machine Configuration: Windows7 and IE 8.0

It is working fine on the same machine



When i'm running the same on the Windows 2003 and IE 8.0, then its failing.



Here is the line of code that i'm using:




Sub test2


test2

Call Regions.Compare("Graph_forecast", window.Panel("page").Panel("page_body").Panel("page_body_content").Panel("forecastNew").Panel(1).Panel("forecastNew_drawer").Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel("forecastNew_drawer_collapser").Panel("forecastNew_drawer_collapser_body").Panel("forecastNew_sec_content_id").Panel("on_track_page_bv").Panel("on_track_b").Panel(0).Panel("on_track_graph_container").Object("on_track_graph"), False, False, True, 0)



End Sub

    Hi Mohit,



    Images comparison is extremely unreliable and should be used as a last resort only when nothing else works. The reason is that images are rendered differently depending on OS version, color depth, color scheme, screen resolution, etc.

    Direct comparison of the text in the target controls with expected values or using different checkpoints (object, property, etc. -- see relevant help topic for more details on the given checkpoint) is much more reliable and thus preferable.
