Hi Manish,
Tecnically we don't "support" a specific tool for application testing, but you are free to use any tool that you want.
I can tell you that internally we use Selenium Webdriver to do tests.
Also as recommendation on our tests we have a best practice of
never
using searchs that find elements by id's in the tests.
Element Id's are not guarantied to be kept the same between executions/versions/platform type.
So if we need to find an element in the page we either search for a specific css class or a custom extended property used specifically for testing purposes. For example:
So instead of having tests that do things like:
driver.FindElement(By.Id("wtContact_Name"))
We use someting like:
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(@"input[data-testeid=""name""]"))

Hi John Rosado
Thanks you so much for your quick reply.
As i came to know that Test Automator is a Browser (Selenium-based) and Unit (WebService-based) Regression Testing tool for the OutSystems Platform, versions 7 and up. but it is supporting selenium RC . Selenium team is not recomending to use selenium RC.
Please suggest me whether I Should go with test
automator with selenium RC
or
test automator can incorporate the selenium Webdriver ?
