Vista Alpha Release soon available

It has been a long time coming, but we finally have a Vista-compatible version of HighTest for you to try out. It has received limited testing under Vista, but is very stable and does the basics well (record, playback, compare), so we're confident that it is in good shape for you to try out.

Let us know if you would like to try it out. We expect to have it packaged with an install by the end of the week and will be sending it out to interested customers.

Note that the IE component is not yet available for testing, and that is the current focus.

Send an email to support and we'll add your name to the list.

Vista, Vista and more Vista

It has been a long, hard process going down this road to Vista compatibility, but things are moving along well. We hit a major snag with getting the hooks working properly, but that is now a thing of the past and we're surging ahead with testing to see if there are any other incompatibilities with Vista.

So far, so good. It's a little early to call this a beta, but if you are a licensed user and would like to try out HighTest on Vista, let us know in support and we'll work to get you a copy of the latest and greatest development version for you to try out. It is very stable and includes a lot of new features that have finally, after many years, found their way into the product.

All, in all, working with Vista hasn't been really that bad. There are a lot of naysayers out there that say how bad Vista is, but short of a few bugs in the OS that the general user is going to run into, Vista looks nice and we like it.
