Namemapping and Python support
I am interested in using TestLeft, however, I am sceptical about TestLeft being a good replacement for my companies legacy TestComplete project. Most of our QEs have experience coding with Python but...

Hi,
> does it support Python
No, just .Net and Java (https://support.smartbear.com/testleft/docs/general-info/net-java.html).
> Does TestLeft bring the namemapping feature to Visual Studio?
No, not as a copy of it from TestComplete. Object Spy exists as UI Spy and Models are provided instead of NameMapping. https://support.smartbear.com/testleft/docs/using/creating-tests/mapping-test-objects.html While Models might be more convenient approach for developers, it is my opinion that they are less illustrative for regular test automation guys and those who prefer Keyword Tests in TestComplete.
TestLeft provides several sample projects with Models of different complexity so you may take a look at them and make your own opinion.
- Thanks for the info Alex!
I've been looking at TestLeft as a replacement for Testcomplete.Hi,
My personal opinion is that TestLeft is not a replacement but complimentary product. Whether or not it can replace TestComplete depends on your requirements for tests and experience of those who create tests.
- I see TestLeft more of an alternative to Testcomplete. It is geared towards those with a preference for oop structures.
Do you know if SmartBear plans to add Python as a support language for TestLeft? Most of my QEs have experience with Python, however, they prefer an oop instead of scripting with TestComplete. Using a framework like TestLeft with Visual Studio and Python would increase it's usage among my team.
