Solved: Name Mapping

Denny · ‎07-17-2019

Hello,

TestComplete generates namemapping with date & time as part of the name, and it generates many not found errors. How I can generate or change it to be static names?

Thanks

Denny.

All NameMapping can be edited. Automatic mapping is good for a starting point but I would say 100% of the time, after you record something, you need to go back and edit. In those properties with dates and times, you can replace those parts with a wildcard.

Why automate? I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy. Sleep is a requirement. So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.
