Name Mapping

Hi there ,

Currently I'm testing mobile application using test complete and I'm facing some issues while mapping the objects because object's properties keep changing which makes the project fails in some tests .

I found the  below sentence in an article for smartbear (Reference added below ) :

TestComplete offers a Name Mapping feature that allows you to create unique names for processes, windows, controls and other objects. It makes your object names and tests clearer and easier to understand, as well as, independent of all object properties and less prone to errors if the UI changes. This feature allows you to test your application successfully even in the early stages of the applications life cycle when the GUI changes often.

I'm wondering what is actually that feature they are talking about ?

 

Thanks ,
