    I find myself one way to change the NameMapping during a Test by using a some Batch file and Python.

     

    That is a bit Complicated to explain, I remove a NM then Write a script in .bat File then terminate the TC and run it again after finishing test with ex-NM then return back all file in their place.

Unfortunately that's like trying to swap your car engine while you are driving down the road.  You can refresh the current name mapping but not switch the files.

 

I suggest building separate projects with the individual name mappings and using this

Note this section.  You'll still only have one copy of each test, but all the projects will be sharing the tests

To add an existing project item from a file

    I understand what you did but that's not replacing it while the test is running either, since you've stopped TC each time.
