What is a TCX file? A TCX file is an XML file used to transfer workout data between fitness devices. It contains a record of a user's workout, including the user's running or cycling course, heart rate, cadence, lap time, and calories burned. TCX files are typically created by Garmin and Fitbit devices.
More Information TCX file open in GitHub Atom In 2007, alongside the release of Garmin Training Center, Garmin introduced the Training Center XML (TCX) file format. TCX files are similar to .GPX files, in that both are used to map runners' and cyclists' routes. However, TCX files also store data recorded during a user's workout. For example, TCX files log users' activity type, lap times, maximum speed, calories burned, and exercise intensity. Garmin and Fitbit device users can export TCX files from their devices and use the files in other programs, such as Garmin Connect, Strava, and the desktop versions of Google Earth. For example, Fitbit users can export their data from Fitbit.com by: Logging in to their Fitbit.com account. Selecting Log → Activities from the Fitbit.com dashboard. Selecting an activity and clicking View Details . Selecting the ... menu and then selecting Export as a TCX file . If you encounter a TCX file on your computer, it was likely exported from a workout-tracking device or program. NOTE: The TCX format is available in both TCX v1 and TCX v2 schemas.

TCX files are primarily opened in TestComplete when a user imports it into the application. However, you can also manually open TCX files since they are renamed ZIP files.
To manually open a TCX file, rename the ".tcx" file extension to ".zip" then expand the archive with a Zip decompression program, such as Corel WinZip, Apple Archive Utility, or 7-Zip.
To create a TCX file, simply reverse the aforementioned process. Compress your extension files as a ZIP file with a Zip compression program, then rename the ".zip" extension to ".tcx".
