Understanding how to properly use Locators is key to building your automation scripts. After all, if you’re unable to “find” the UI element, you cannot control it (such as tapping a button).

In Mobile Automation Testing automating any scenario follows these 2 steps:

  • Find the UI element locators (uniquely): Click search button(Element Locator) on Recorder window. Select your locator strategy for element (Id, Xpath,.. ) and write your selector string, click Search button.

  • Perform an action on that element: Select the right element and could send commands to verify the action. Check if the found element is the correct element
