Indeed.
Object Identification is always an interesting subject if you're doing automation.
I made HUGE numbers of mistakes when setting up GUI maps in QTPro in the past. We thought about it and improved the way we did it. QTPro did not use Aliases, but did update all your scripts when you changed an object in the GUI map. Which was really helpful.
TC does not auto update object references in scripts. And Aliases were new to me when I started using it. But with a bit of experimentation, I *think* I've got a method that works well and allows for easy maintenance. It took a bit of trial and error, and figuring out best use of Aliases, but it seems to be working well now.
Fingers crossed! :)
