Namemapping - Individual & Merged
New to TC, migrating over from QTP. I've run across a problem, that I hope you can help me with. Let's say that I have two seperate applications, each of them are tested on their own. Different Project Suite entirely. Each of them will obvioulsy have their own Namemapping. Testing them individually is fine.
Now let's say that I need to test both of them in a single test. For example, let's say one application enters data into a database, the other accesses the database. I'm not talking about database access here, I'm just using this as an example. One application puts data in, the other application verifies that it made it there. Two applications, one test.
The only way that I've been told to do this is that I must merge the two Namemapping files together. is that the case? If so, I think that it's really hard to maintain. Is there a way around merging them?
Additionally, how would you go about putting your Namemapping files in a "common" place? I think it's a good idea to do that, as you can link them in to a test. But if they must be called Namemapping, then it causes a problem for this. How do you folks do that?
