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

[Raji18]

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!

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?

[Raji18]

Version: 15.46.9.7 x64

Have these test scripts run on this version of TestComplete successfully before the run where they failed?

[Raji18]

Yes, multiple times, as I'm running the regression test for all these scripts.  Application under test is Oracle!  

[Marsha_R]

Are you running these tests in a browser? What browser and what version?

[Raji18]

Microsoft Edge
Version 108.0.1462.42 (Official build) (64-bit)

[Marsha_R]

TestComplete only supports Edge up to version 103

That could be causing your object recognition issues. Try reverting to version 103 and see if your tests run then.
