SmartBear TestComplete Stability
The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us. It's mostly more around what we are looking for, potentially in other solutions that would enable us to focus on some other areas of testing where we see that there might be a benefit to get improvements.

The product lacks stability in my experience. I have experimented with various tools, and based on my observations, it is evident that there is room for improvement and evolution.

It's pretty stable. We find it to be reliable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.

It is an extremely stable solution. We haven't experienced any significant issues or security incidents. I would rate its stability as a nine, indicating that there are no issues.

Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover.
It would help if it were more stable as it sometimes hangs and crashes.

By and large, it is a stable product. There may be some bug fixes needed here or there. however, for the most part, it's fine.

Sometimes the app crashes during test execution based on the amount of code that is running. It's recommended that you modularize scripts, but that is not a justification for not being more stable.

Overall, TestComplete is quite stable. But the only issue affecting me is if TestComplete is terminated unexpectedly while test is still running (such as, terminating TestComplete without stopping the test first, window restarting, or shutting down unexpectedly), user could lose all the logs.

Some of the objects/parent objects are dynamically created in the web page. During the test, TestComplete will have problem to identify these kind of objects. This will cause a lot of false rejection and block the following test cases. Thus it requires some rework when running all the test cases as a batch.

The solution is now very stable. Four or five versions previous to the latest, if I recall, in version 10 or 11, it had some issues. However, now it is highly stable. Currently, there's nothing to worry about in terms of the stability of the product.
The solution is stable. We didn't run into any issues. It has been good so far.

View full review »TestComplete had problems during long hours runs. In some cases it could crash without leaving any logs. Also, if there were some unhanded exception it could drop the error message waiting for user input. This is not really acceptable for nightly runs and required human assistance. But this problem is rather language-specific

This tool is quite stable. I had only one crash, and I sent a report for this crash to technical support. Everything else seems to work perfectly. Aside from the one issue, we haven't had any other problems.

It is very stable and easy going.
View full review »There have been quite a few issues. Delay methods are not so dynamic in TestComplete, so if a screen hasn't loaded, and the delay is a static delay, then the test moves forward in script, but the previous operation has not been done, resulting in failure of the whole test one after another.
This also means that TestComplete and TestExecute work in a not so similar manner, causing TestExecute to be practically useless. This happens in the case of HTML5 based web application.

The stability needs a bit of improvement. On the open-source version, you're not really able to check stability like you can on the paid version.
