Re: Seeing huge resource consumption in TestCompleteService15 (32 bit) causing VM to be unstable
Unfortunately (or rather ... "fortunately" for us) our corporate security team moved to a different port scanning technology. So rather than a centralised port scanning tool that goes out and scan all our automation VPC we now have a security solution that sits on the VPC and monitors the ports. So no active port scanning in our environment. This fixed the issue for us. having said that this has to be a bug in the Testcomplete v15 service. It should not hit 100% cpu utalisation just because the port it sits on gets scanned. AND this was never a issue with TestComplete v14 service. So something changed with v15 that causes this! I sent memory dumps and all sorts of logs to SmartBear to see if they could fix. Nothing unfortunately. Very very difficult o nail the issue down though. If it helps when you raise a ticket with SmartBear you could reference our ticket which was #00514023453Views1like1CommentRe: POM for keyword test on TestComplete
Keyword tests by their very nature aren't Object Orientated so it's a little difficult to implement the Page Object Model. However, an approach is detailed here... https://www.testmanagement.com/blog/2023/02/building-a-framework-with-testcomplete/ It has limitations! Ultimately you'll probably want to move towards an object orientated coded approach (either JavaScript or Python), but this might help.554Views1like0CommentsRe: How can I set the value of a selector at runtime?
If you have a look at step 26 on this blog post... https://www.testmanagement.com/blog/2023/02/building-a-test-automation-framework-with-testcomplete-part-3/ It shows you how to use a Project Variable in the name map. So you can set the value of the Project variable at run time, then use that variable in the namemap / selector when you need it. The key bit is making sure you 'refresh' the namemap if you update the variable. All detailed in the post and in the video.485Views2likes0CommentsRe: Seeing huge resource consumption in TestCompleteService15 (32 bit) causing VM to be unstable
Hi I've seen this issue a lot and traced it back to a conflict between our security tool that does a regular port scan and the TestCompleteService15.exe service running on the machine. If we step the machines out of the port scans we don't see the issue. However, we also don't see the issue if we do have the port scan running regularly and we're running only TestCompleteService14.exe. Something has changed in this latest version (v15) of the TestCompleteService15.exe that makes it incompatible with our port scanning security tools. We have an open ticket with SmartBear to get this resolved as there's no way our security team will allow us to step out 20 odd machines in our network that run TestComplete. Hopefully we'll get a fix soon.771Views1like3Comments
