Key Features
Quickly copy the smartest locator
Quick Copy leverages Pattern Recognition to contextually guess the most reliable and readable locator for you.
- Right click on your web element of interest, then select “TestArchitect UI Mapify – Quick Copy”. There are 3 options available:
- Suggested Locator: the most reliable locator as recommended by POM Builder. You should use it for better performance and stability. It could be a single attribute, a CSS Selector or an XPath locator.
- CSS Selector: A CSS Selector that uniquely identifies the selected element.
- XPath: An XPath locator that uniquely identifies the selected element.
- After making your selection, the selected locator will be saved in the clipboard
- Paste it to TestArchitect’s interface definition
Smart Gen
If your element locators are too sensitive to changes like the absolute XPath on the right, your tests will fail even due to minor GUI changes. But constructing reliable and unique locators manually is tedious and error-prone. Smart Gen eliminates this hassle by auto-suggesting the smartest locators as well as excluding out bad ones for your reference.
Customize your locator and test it
Our suggested element locator may perform well most of the time but in some cases, you might want to add your own touches. That’s when Locator Test comes in handy. It helps you quickly evaluate the customized locator to make sure that it uniquely identifies your web element. If your element locator is not unique like the one on the left, Locator Test shows you how many web elements match your locator so you can easily vet them out.
