    Hi,

     

    Yes, stable and unique object names is something that is of primary importance.

    Additionally, you may discuss and establish some naming conventions (or other means provided by .Net) for UI data controls (input fields, comboboxes, checkboxes, grids, tabs, etc.) and their respective labels.

    Having this in place will make you able to, for example, search for some label (e.g. 'Customer ID') and enter data into corresponding field. Or find all mandatory combo-boxes on a tab and iterate through them with elegant logging.

If they can provide standard and unique names for the controls, that will help out tremendously. It's also good practice to have an open communciation with them, and be informed of any changes to the controls that are coming.
