What methods can be employed to utilize scripts and name mapping during a Devexpress upgrade?
I'm relatively new to Test Complete. While working with a desktop application, I've encountered issues where scripts fail due to changes in Xpath during a Devexpress upgrade.
How can such issues be effectively managed both now and in the future to minimize the efforts needed during upgrades? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If the name mapping no longer references the UI Object, then you'll have to update the name mappings.
See Update Name Mapping for options
So, is there any script can we run directly so that all name mapping will get updated in case of environment upgrade ?
Unfortunately not. It is something that you have to do manually. Usually, when there's a major version change with the supported development tools, the application internal objects ID changes too - but not in all cases.
There are some tips and outside references for using XPath with TC here:
