selenium object identification and locators - ID, Name, Class, CSS Selector, DOM and Xpath

For testing different applications we need to identify the object. All applications either it is Web Application or Desktop Application; it is consisting of different objects like below:Button,Text Box,Link,Drop Down,Radio Button,List Box and Slider

Object identification is very important part of automation activity. So the automation people should be able to identify the objects for automation purpose. For identifying these objects Selenium uses a concept of ‘Locators’. These locators are used to identify the objects which are mostly used while automating the test cases using Selenium.

Locators: There are number of locators present. These are ID,Name,XPath,CSS,Class,tagName,DOM,Link Text and Filters
