Hi,
> page object pattern
Namemapping and Aliasing is, actually, much improved version of page object pattern.
> Xpath (relative) or cssselectror
No. This is a wrong way to go in TestComplete's world. (It will work, but it is far less flexible, reliable and convenient when compared to Aliasing and .FindXXX() methods.)
For our current application which is electron and angular based alias based was a severe failure, we switched to POP and it worked wonder.
we use combination of Find()/FindChildren() with locator combination and it is amazingly fast for us, after lot of tickets and discussions.
> angular based
Agree. Angular and React libraries were created without any consideration of easily created and reliable automated UI testing. .FindChild() is a way to go in this case. But .FindChildByXPath() is still the last resort when nothing else works.
TC 12.60 introduced improved support for Angular/React-based web pages through the Cuatom Attributes functionality (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/web/general/object-identification/using-custom-attributes.html) that may be used for NameMapping as well.
