Structure of Name Mapping
Hi guys,
I`m starting my first TC-Project at the moment and I would like to ask you the following question about the name mapping feature:
I will test webpages. The question is, do I actually need the whole structure of the hierarchy of the webpages in my name mapping tree?
In my beginner-eyes I would say I just need the hierarchy to uniquely identify my GUI-Objects on a webpage (for example, when there are two identic objects I can`t differentiate with their attributes then I can use the hierarchy of the webpage).
But I would say I can always differantiate my GUI-Objects of a certain webpage with their attributes. So would it be fine to just hang all my GUI-Objects directly under the webpage root knode of my name mapping tree and check the "Extended Find" checkbox?
I think that would save us a lot of time in maintaining the name mapping and probably our not that technical users a lot of nerves...
What do you think about that?
