    Hi,

     

    Concurrent development is not supported in TestComplete. (Not sure if any other tool has such support.)

    Merging is always risky and it is a good idea to avoid it as much as possible.

    With the good preliminary tests design, NameMapping does not require intense corrections. So the best approach (as it was already mentioned) is to plan required corrections to NameMapping, do them, store updated file and ask other team members to update their copies to avoid possible differences.
