AutoMate Extension

AutoMate, a robust Chrome extension, aims to streamline the automation of test scripts by proposing optimal locators for DOM (Document Object Model) elements. Test automation engineers often grapple with the challenge of pinpointing unique and stable locators for web page elements, crucial for ensuring the reliability and maintainability of automated tests.

With AutoMate, this task becomes effortless. By simply selecting an element on a web page, AutoMate intelligently analyzes the element's attributes and content to suggest CSS and XPath locators. These suggestions are crafted to enhance reliability while minimizing fragility, ensuring robust automated tests.

Key Features:

- Instantly suggests CSS and XPath locators for selected DOM elements.
- Analyzes element attributes and content to generate reliable locator suggestions.
- Helps automate the tedious task of manually identifying locators, saving time and effort for test automation engineers.
- Improves the reliability and maintainability of automated test scripts by providing stable locators.

Whether you're an experienced test automation expert or new to the field, AutoMate stands as an indispensable companion, empowering you to accelerate the automation of test scripts with precision and confidence.

Crucial Points to Note When Utilizing the Extension:

- When inspecting an element in an iframe, running the suggestLocators script will fail. Hence, before invoking the suggestLocators($0) method in the console, users should ensure they switch to the top document after inspecting the element, especially in applications with iframes.
- Everyone can utilize this plugin at no cost, and any future changes to the license will not apply retroactively.
