Can Testcomplete do distributed testing if an application is installed at different locations?

Hi,

 

here you must be getting compatibility issue, you can not run your distributed test on different configuration. (Configuration must be same on all machine - like  OS 64, same browser version, even computer theme should be same.)

 

this may help you :)

Well.... not ENTIRELY true... if you write your automation code well enough, you can account for differences in configuration.  For example, in this case, we're dealing with bit architecture of the environments.  You can write code to detect what bit version you are running (Sys.OSInfo.Windows64bit is a boolean... if true, you're on a 64 bit machine) and then detect your application location accordingly.

It's been a while since I've done distributed testing but, just refreshing my information from the help file, the verification of a task doesn't really check whether the application under test can be run, it simply checks to see if the right conditions are set up in order to run the task, not whether or not the test itself can be run successfully.  So, as long as all the conditions are met (see https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/advanced/distributed/processing/verifying.html) the task can be verified.

So... what it sounds like is not a problem with your application being tested, but with your setup, configuration, and environment for your distributed test.  Check through this list of possible problems and see if there's something going wrong here.
