Abstract:
A method for creating agnostic test automation script commands associated with a specified action and a user interface (UI) is provided. The method may include receiving a target element associated with the specified action. The method may also generate at least one anchor uniquely identifying the target element, wherein the target element is ambiguous. The method may further include generating an agnostic test automation script command based on the received target element and the at least one generated anchor. Additionally, the method may analyze, using the generated agnostic test automation script command, the at least one generated anchor to locate the target element within the user interface (UI), wherein the analyzing is based on an application on which the agnostic test automation script command is to be executed. The method may also include performing, using the generated agnostic test automation script command, the specified action on the located target element.
