Summary

Automating the testing of tables can be efficiently achieved by focusing on either relative locations or table structure from an end-user’s perspective, ensuring stability and ease of implementation. For example, when deleting a row in a table, actions can be expressed in testRigor by clicking relatively, such as "click on the second button to the right of 'spk2'," or contextually within the table structure, like "click on the second button within the context of the table at row containing 'spk2' and column 'Action'." These methods remain effective even if the table's rendering changes, unlike using Selenium, where XPath locators must be rewritten if the table shifts from table-based to div-based rendering, which can complicate the automation process. A video tutorial is available for a step-by-step guide, and a free account is offered for those interested in trying the method themselves.
