Selectors bind Controls to UI elements on the screen. You can use CSS or Xpath selectors in QualityMate.

When to use a Selector?

You will need to use a Selector when:

  • When the id property is shared on different elements, for example two buttons on the same window has the same id.

The id property is not available. Check for more information.
