Easily find an element with locator suggestions
Accurately and reliably locating the right element to interact with is one of the biggest challenges with real-browser testing, both in our products (QA Tester and Load Tester) as well as when coding tests to the Selenium/WebDriver APIs. Our upcoming 6.4 release provides suggestions for a variety of locators that may be a suitable replacement for the locator that was chosen during the testcase recording. If you are accustomed to using SeleniumIDE, you find that our implementation operates provides a familiar experience.
To access these suggestions, look for the light bulb icon next to the locator edit field. To try one of those suggestions, simply select it from the list.
Locator suggestions will be included in the 6.4 release. Look for it in early October!
When his dad brought home a Commodore PET computer, Chris was drawn into computers. 7 years later, after finishing his degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering at Purdue University, he found himself writing software for industrial control systems. His first foray into testing software resulted in an innovative control system for testing lubricants in automotive engines. The Internet grabbed his attention and he became one of the first Sun Certified Java Developers. His focus then locked on performance testing of websites. As Chief Engineer for Web Performance since 2001, Chris now spends his time turning real-world testing challenges into new features for the Load Tester product.
