    As I understand you haven’t built a test framework so it would be wise to start from scratch. Just record and play is a good start. (me too started the same way ) But to build a solid test frame take time and there is a learning curve. Name mapping is a critical part of your frame. Try mapping with future proof properties. Always do manual mapping.

     

    You do not have to map everything, try to map major stable parent objects only. Then you can call child by the parent mapping.  

    Better to have name mapping as it is, but keep Aliases short and clear so that your scripts are not messy.

    Before start full swing of test automation better do small parts(project) to test-the-waters.

    Read documents as much as possible, there are lot of  information.

    good luck..!
