Composite components may be mappable as separate parts
For some components that consist of other components (e.g. combo boxes that consist of a textfield and a button), it may be possible to collect the individual components (textfield, button) as well as the whole composite (the combo box). When performing mapping, you should make sure that you are collecting the component that it makes sense to perform your chosen action on. For example, you can only perform a Select from Combo Box on a combo box. While it may be possible to perform a Replace Text on the textfield included in the combo box, it will almost always make more sense to deal with the logical component as opposed to its parts.
Mapping of dynamic content items in components
It may be possible to map individual items within components that are addressed as a whole component in the test specification. For example, it may be possible to map individual list entries. Even when this is the case, we recommend mapping the list component and performing actions on the whole component that deal with its content (e.g. Select entry from list, Check existence of entry in list). This makes tests more robust and able to deal with dynamic data.
Mapping components in tabbed panes
When mapping a component that is contained in a tabbed pane, it is important to move the mouse cursor quickly and directly to the component you want to map, to avoid collecting the tabbed pane itself.
