TestComplete does not run script after browser launch even though Playback is still going on
I've been having this weird issue with TestComplete where after launching the browser, it just stops doing anything while the Playback is still technically occurring (Pause/Stop buttons appear in the top-right corner of the screen while it says 'Playback' below). This problem does not occur all the time, but occurs frequently enough to where it can become an issue when running my scripts via jobs. Clicking the Pause button does nothing (Test is not paused - Status still says 'Playback'), while clicking the Stop button changes the Status to 'Stopping', but it doesn't actually stop the test; It just stays in the same state as it was when it was in 'Playback' status. In order to get out of this state, I have to force close TestComplete and then re-start, which typically results in playback to actually work next time I run my same script without any modifications made. Would anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm not doing anything fancy with my script - Just launching the browser with my desired URL, and then attempting to log in. It just decides to "freeze" after the browser launches. I wish I had logs to provide, but with the issue I'm facing I can't even see why it's doing what it's doing. Below are examples of my code lines (Not doing anything special as you can probably see - I do want to note that this happens with any browser I decide to use, not just Edge): br = Browsers.Item(btEdge); br.RunOptions = '<insert URL here>'; br.Run(); /* Below would be code of running my application. Application would freeze after the URL is launched. */ Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How to increment a variable value when using Genarte Data to test
I am trying to create a test scenario for creating a new account. Whenever I run the test case I want to use a new name value for the account I create, so I am using Generate data and use the Name option and first name. Still, whenever I run the test, it only shows the 1st name in that column; when I run the test 2nd or 3rd time, it uses the same name every time. can anyone help me with this issue, I don't know programming or how to use VB script or Java script. appreciate your help and support. thanks, GillWorkspace panels
Is it possible to create your own panel in the workspace area (Item, operation, value....)? I would like to add a notes panel that is visible in real time versus placing a comment. Field chooser only allows to add auto wait timeout. Was curious if a custom option i.e. notes can be created that I can import into the workspace alongside my test operations.
