Old format or invalid type library exception

[matt]

We have a suite of approximately 60 automated tests that pass when ran individually. However, when attempting to run the entire suite, we will typically get 20 - 30 tests that pass, then a seemingly catastrophic exception occurs that causes all remaining tests to fail with the same exception. I searched the existing forum threads and did not see any other references to this error or type of behavior. 

Below is the output of one of these tests failures.

 

Test Name:  CreateBankAccounts

Hi Matt,

Thank you for contacting us.

We have seen such error in very old versions of Test Studio? What version of Test Studio / Testing framework do you use?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Boyan,

 We're using version '2015.2.723.0' of the ArtOfTest.WebAii.

Hello Matt,

Please upgrade to our latest version (1314) and give that a try.

You can download it from your Telerik account.

Let me know the results.
