Thank you for your feedback

Web actions are exposed in the Web Automation framework in Test Modeller. The corresponding Git repository is available https://github.com/CuriositySoftwareIreland/TestModeller-JavaSeleniumFramework . This uses Selenium with Java as the underlying automation technology.

When the framework is imported into Test Modeller, the actions below are available in the 'WebGeneralActions' module. This provides an accelerator for automating common actions on web devices. This class can be extended to incorporate your own keywords and actions as necessary.

Location Strategy

All keywords in the Test Modeller WebGeneralActions library that need to find an element on the page take a locator argument. Locator is a string that describes how to locate an element using a syntax specifying different location strategies.

Strategy	Example
XPath	xpath://input[id="username"]
Id	id:usernameId
Class	class:username
Css	css:#usernameId
name	accessibilityId:usernameObj
linktext	linktext:login
text	text:inputusername
tagname	tagname:button
