Issue in name mapping
Using the object spy , I got a mapped name for an object. Say for example the mapped name looks like Aliases.abcd.xyz.window.Item I ran the test cases using this mapped name it all worked fine....

OR... if you're going to use automapping (because it is a good shortcut to get items mapped quickly), please, please PLEASE go back and edit what was mapped. Look for dynamic properties, close the application and re-open it to see if the objects STAY mapped, adjust properties, property values, etc., to be more robust. And for goodness sack, clean up your Aliases... no more
Aliases.Myapp.myunusedobject1.myform2.mypanel2.somegarbagecomponent_that_has_a_weird_name.buttonThatIsUsable
Make it "nice"
Aliases.MyApp.myActualForm.buttonThatIsUsable.
Thanks for the replies.
You have mentioned about auto-mapping. I am not sure what that is. I can explain how i did mapping here.
I used the object spy and select the desired object , then use "Highlight the object in object tree" option. Once am able to view the object in object browser , i right click on the object and get the mapped name (it has the alias ) . I use this mapped name in my code. Assign a variable to the mapped name and use that vairable.
I am doing this for mapping all the objects. I have run tests for close to 6 months using these mapped name ( variable). 95%-97% of the mapped name dont change. Its working fine. The remaining % changes for some reason which I dont know.
