Editing an Object using Object Spy

You can update the object details and also change their locator type and associated locator value

To edit an object:

  1. Launch the browser (Edge or Chrome) that is enabled with Web Object Spy.
    For detailed instructions on how to launch a web object spy, refer to Launching Object Spy from the Browser.
  2. In the Repository section, select the page under which the object exists which needs to be updated.
  3. Click the edit () icon next to the object that you want to edit.

    SmartLocator mode does not support HTML tag/structure change.




  4. Modify the object details and then click .

Important Notice:

Qualitia SmartLocator automatically identifies dynamic objects during the test case execution. Enabling this option, you cannot edit object details like locator value and locator type.

If you disable this option, this object will no longer be eligible for SmartLocator identification. Please note that if you wish to enable this option for this object later, you will have to perform either of the following steps for SmartLocator to work for this object:

  1. Learn this object afresh using Qualitia Object Spy.
  2. Specify a valid XPath for the object. The object will be SmartLocator enabled only after the first execution.
