Dot NET 4 Garbage Collector & TestComplete Version 8
Is anyone experiencing issues with available memory when TestComplete Version 8 is used to test applications running .NET 4? After switching from .NET 3.5 to .NET 4 and from TestComplete 6 to TC8, we have found that Garbage Collection is no longer happening properly. The tested application runs out of memory because pages objects are accumulating and the memory associated with them is not being collected by the .NET GC scheme. When we perform the test manually, the memory associated with the unused objects is collected. When we use TC, the pages accumulate. Forcing GC, after TC is closed out will cause collection to happen but when GC is forced by TC or manually forced when TC is running, GC will not recover memory. This condition is causing false positives during long duration test runs that, in the past, were run to expose memory leaks in the tested application.

Manual Testing Combined With Automated
Is there a way to change the configuration or behavior of the manual test dialog boxes so they're not always on top? I'm working on automating some portions of manual tests or pausing automated tests for some manual intervention. I'd like the Test Description box to appear on top, then disappear or otherwise be out of the way after the user presses "Begin test". I'd like the Test Step box to go away if the user clicks on the desktop. Presently, a dialog box is configured as always on top and gets in the way of the user or TC/TE clicking items on the screen. The system under test is a dual monitor medical imaging workstation with a system control monitor and an image display monitor. The present workaround is to instruct the user, in the first dialog box displayed, to drag the dialog box to the image display monitor. After moving the first box, all subsequent dialog boxes occur in the same place. Thanks10KViews0likes3Comments
