testRigor Locators
Blog post from testRigor
testRigor locator is a novel approach to identifying elements on a webpage or application from an end-user's perspective, differing significantly from traditional methods like XPath and CSS Selectors. Unlike these conventional locators, testRigor locators do not depend on the underlying implementation details, such as HTML structure or specific attributes like id or data-test-id, which can change with updates or shifts in technology frameworks. This user-centric method minimizes test maintenance since tests remain stable even when the visual or technical aspects of a page are altered. testRigor locators can be particularly beneficial when migrating between frameworks or using different rendering libraries, ensuring that the tests are less susceptible to breakage due to such changes. These locators are integrated within the testRigor platform, which is available for free, providing a practical tool for testers looking to streamline their automation processes.
