Is it possible to make a region checkpoint without mapping an object?

Hi every one, I am new in TestComplete testing, please advise how to solve my problem or a workaround.   I prepare a bench of tests with region checkpoints using Object Spy. It is mapping my object...

Hi NisHera, thank you for your answer.
I think was not enough clear. A and B are the same application. It is DEV env and QA env, the names are not important. So I don't want to "test A against B" . It is always testing of one of them. MyObject has stable html tags and properties, so I can find it easily every where.

I didn't get how can I use you suggestion because:

 

Anyway you can do

1) map objects considering A and B are two applications . - A and B it is the same app, and I don't want to map my object every where(it may be tested in C and D too), in addition I am looking for the way to avoid mapping

2) Get image of A and save - good suggestion, but how to do that without mapping in the web. I didn't get it from your reference

3) compare image A to B - same as 2: good suggestion, but how to do that without mapping in the web. I didn't get it from your reference

If A and B are same it makes less complex...

did you tried partially mapping?

    -No. Does partial mapping work even if the object may be located in different places of the page? If Yes, could you give me the reference to the example how to use it in web?

      Hi,

       

      >  Does partial mapping work even if the object may be located in different places of the page?

      Yes it does. Via the Extended Find functionality (http://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/object-identification/name-mapping/managing/modifying/extended-search-criteria.html). (Note, that for the performance reasons the more close to the expected location of the sought for object the search is started the better.)

      https://support.smartbear.com/screencasts/testcomplete/reliable-tests-for-dynamic-objects/ from the https://support.smartbear.com/screencasts/testcomplete/ page might be useful as well.

        Thanks Alex, It works with Extended Find, probably I will go with partial mapping.

        During my investigation I found other solutions. It takes more coding, but it works good. Here is the solution without mapping:

         

        var MyobjectlUnderTest ;
        MyobjectlUnderTest = page.NativeWebObject.Find("propertyName", "propertyValue", "tag").Picture();
        MyobjectlUnderTest .SaveToFile("C:\\images\\MyobjectlUnderTest .png");

         

        var result;
        result = MyobjectlUnderTest .Difference("C:\\images\\MyobjectlUnderTest .png");

        //I compare the same image, in a real case it should be replaced with another picture taken during the execution. It is not the code to use - just to give an idea.

        if(result != null)

        {

        Log.Error("Images are different!", undefined, undefined, undefined, result)

        } else{
        Log.Message("Images are same!");
        }
