Selector

Explore and customize selector options to enhance your experience with Test Maker's recorder. Here's a detailed overview of the available features:

Show Duplicate Selectors for All Selector's Strategies

Activate this option to display a warning icon when an element selector lacks uniqueness, indicating the presence of duplicate selectors. By clicking on the icon, you can view a list of these duplicates associated with the selector. Select any duplicate element from the list to have it highlighted, facilitating easy identification and resolution.

Strategies

Tailor your recorder's selector strategy to align with your preferences. This customization influences both the best unique and best strategies presented when highlighting an element. Strategies are prioritized based on their placement in the list, with higher positions indicating greater priority or value. Additionally, you can add your own custom strategies if the default list doesn't include your desired selector. Reset the list anytime to revert to the default strategy prioritization.

These selector options provide a flexible and personalized approach to refining your testing workflow within Test Maker. Experiment with different strategies to optimize your recorder experience according to your specific requirements.
