    Hi,

     

    Unfortunately, I am still unclear about the relationship between Object Browser and Name Mapping.  When should I be using the Object Browser versus Name Mapping?

     

    Kindly correct me if I am wrong... When keyword tests are recorded, objects are created and stored in the Object Browser(Name mapping).  But, at which point in time is the Name Mapping generated or requires my attention?(Name mapping contains objects that are being added via Record or Manually.)   Also, we the users have the ability to modify objects either in the Object Browser or Name Mapping? (You can do the Edit Name mapping not in the Object Browser)

    General concepts based on my understanding, 

    Object Browser:

    • Object browser contains all the process and its child objects displayed in the machine
    • It will not related with any of the Keyword Tests or Scripts
    • It is a place where we can see the AUT objects and what ever objects you want map for your tests you do by Right Click on the specified object and clicking Map Object option. and much more

    Name mapping:

Hi Shankar,

 

Thanks for the reminder.   I have read through Chrome browser setup doc and took the necessary steps.  My browser  is also at 100% zoom.

 

Regards,

Arlene

    Hi Arlene,

     

    On your original video, the browser zoom was more than 100% - as indicated by the (-) button in the address bar. Once you set it back to 100%, the object recognition should work fine. Can you try the Object Spy again now that you use 100% zoom?

      Good afternoon,

       

      Thanks for all the tips and advice.  I am now able to successfully target the object using Object Spy.

       

      After saving the test, I ran it to check for the expected value of 1855. As you can see from the video here, the checkpoint failed due to the actual value being identified as "". Why is that so?  Am I missing a step during test recording?

       

      Unfortunately, I am still unclear about the relationship between Object Browser and Name Mapping.  When should I be using the Object Browser versus Name Mapping?

       

      Kindly correct me if I am wrong... When keyword tests are recorded, objects are created and stored in the Object Browser.  But, at which point in time is the Name Mapping generated or requires my attention?   Also, we the users have the ability to modify objects either in the Object Browser or Name Mapping? 

       

      Can you give me an instance where/why I might need to modify the text cell on which I'm applying the Property Checkpoint in the video?  (Referring to the Event ID text field that holds the "1855" value.)

       

      p.s. The video spans across 2 monitor screens.  Please scroll to the right to see the Chrome browser that's open along with TestComplete.

       

      Thanks very much,

      Arlene

       

       

       

      Regards,

      Arlene
