Hello,

I've got a problem when executing tests. From time to time IDs of RadButtons and TextBoxes change so all the tests that were based on clicking on that buttons are failed. After each IDs change, I have to edit all tests connected with them.

How to set static IDs for these items, so that Test Studio will always recognize them and they won't be chenged?
or
How to set in the Test Studio, so that it will recognize mentioned buttons/boxes even after it changed IDs?

Thanks in advance
Piotr

Hi Piotr,

When you are dealing with an application that dynamically generates random ID's like that we recommend the following two options. 
  • Edit the Find Settings for the element so it is located with a static attribute (non-dynamic and unique to that element).
  • Have your developers implement static IDs and rerecord against the element. See here for more information.

 

Kind regards,
