UI automation and selectors
Interact reliably with application screens.
📖 Key ideas
- Selectors identify UI elements by attributes.
- Use stable attributes; avoid dynamic IDs and positions.
- Wildcards (*) handle changing values.
- Modern activities use object repository and anchors.
- Computer vision activities handle Citrix/remote screens.
💡 Real-life example: Selectors are addresses for buttons: a precise address finds the right door every time.
