TestComplete switching between two windows applications

Hi,

NameMapping will certainly work.

But NameMapping is (just) a more convenient and manageable form of direct process and object referencing. So it is not required to stick to NameMapping/Aliasing (though it is a recommended way) and the following (pseudocode) will work as well:

var oMyDesktopProcess = Sys.Process(<YourDesktopApp>);

var oDesktopLogin = oMyDesktopProcess.Window(<LoginWindow>);

// perform login sequence

var oBrowser = Sys.Browser(<BrowserName>);

var oPage = oBrowser.Page(...);

// perform actions in browser

oMyDesktopProcess.Window(<SomeOtherWindow>).Button(<...>).Click();

oPage.FindChild(...);

// etc.

// i.e. no special actions to switch between tested applications are needed with TestComplete
