This topic describes the changes made to TestLeft 2.4. For information about the changes in other TestLeft versions, see TestLeft Version History.
-
TesLeft is now available in two versions: 32- and 64-bit. The installation package includes both versions. The installer copies 64-bit modules to your computer automatically when you install or update TestLeft on a 64-bit computer.
x64 versions do not require any special license keys, so, your licenses remain functional.
TestLeft can test both 32- and 64-bit applications, regardless of the TestLeft bitness. If you use a 64-bit OS, you might want to switch to TestLeft x64. What advantages will you get? TestLeft x64, as a 64-bit application, takes advantage of all the benefits these applications have on 64-bit operating systems. One of them is a larger address space, which enables the test engine to store more data in memory rather than to load it from cache to the hard drive. This streamlines the test playback in general, and makes it possible to work with large tests faster.

In one of the future releases, we are going to discontinue support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9. We will not run tests for this browser, nor will we release patches for it. Of course, you will still be able to run TestLeft web tests for this browser (like you can run tests for any application), but you will do this on your own responsibility. If you need support for this browser, please send a message to the SmartBear Support Team or to your Sales Representative.
