Benefits of SmartLocator Feature

Let's take an example of https://in.yahoo.com/. On this pageweb application, you will find few section names at the top of the window. Attribute values for these menus (Home, Mail, News and so forth) are dynamic. Add these objects in Qualitia under some test case and execute the click action on it.  

Ensure you keep the SmartLocator option enabled on the Object Spy window while adding these objects in into the repository.  

As these objects contain dynamic elements, locater values will be updated after starting a new session. During the test case execution, objects will get identified auto-correcting the locater values over existing values. You can view the existing and updated locator values analyzing Info Log from the test execution report. 

Use Case - 2

Let's assume Sometimes, it might happen that even after auto-correcting the locater value, objects did you enable this feature, object will not get identified while execution.

In this case, relearn this You can relearn the object using   Qualitia   Object Spy .  and
