    Hi,

     

    NameMapping will certainly work.

    But NameMapping is (just) a more convenient and manageable form of direct process and object referencing. So it is not required to stick to NameMapping/Aliasing (though it is a recommended way) and the following (pseudocode) will work as well:

    var oMyDesktopProcess = Sys.Process(<YourDesktopApp>);

    var oDesktopLogin = oMyDesktopProcess.Window(<LoginWindow>);

    // perform login sequence

     

    var oBrowser = Sys.Browser(<BrowserName>);

    var oPage = oBrowser.Page(...);

    // perform actions in browser

     

    oMyDesktopProcess.Window(<SomeOtherWindow>).Button(<...>).Click();

    oPage.FindChild(...);

    // etc.

    // i.e. no special actions to switch between tested applications are needed with TestComplete
