Qualitia Automation Studio (QAS) allows you to add and delete multiple locators for an object. You can add up to 5 locators. Multi-locator supports all the applications. If the Smart Locator won’t work for an application, you can switch to multi-locator and perform a successful execution.

Multi-locator only works for web objects, not for Mobile or SFDC.

Benefits of multi-locator

Adding multiple locators for an object allows you to run a successful execution without interruption. During the execution, if the first locator fails to identify the element, it will automatically move to the next one and so on until it reaches the last one.

If all the locators fail, QAS will switch to Smart Locator.

  2. Access Develop from left navigation to view Test Explorer screen.

  3. Click Objects icon from extreme right of the toolkit.
