title: Is it possible to merge UI Controls on MS Coded UI Tests?
body: <p><strong>Edit: Since my question was too long, and touched a lot of different points, I decided to brake it down into smaller and more specific questions.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am using Coded UI tests to run automated, however I realized UIMap generates the exact same element over and over again when I create different tests on the some page. Is it possible to merge this repeated elements? Please see screenshot below:</p>
