The manual testing functionality is deprecated but still available in TestComplete. While we recommend using other approaches for new tests, you can continue to create and run manual tests if needed..

This message is displayed if you are trying to start a manual test from a Connected or Self-Testing application. Due to some specifics of the TestComplete engine, manual tests cannot be run from Connected and/or Self-Testing Applications. You can run manual tests only from TestComplete.
