Every Locator Has its own priority. It is purely depends on the component which we want to locate . Most used locators are I'd & xpath.

[shalinivinodwaghmare]

We can't say exactly which locator is the best... It totally depends on the structure of html

[jagadeshkathem]

Xpath is best Bcz we can write the dynamic elements which is dynamically changes in future also it works I think these is the best locator to use

[Arizali-zhgb]

In basic locator best locator is ( ID), and in Customize Locator best locator is (Xpath)

[ArjunYalapalli]

ID locator in Selenium is the most preferred and fastest way to locate desired WebElements on the page. ID Selenium locators are unique for each element in the DOM. Since IDs are unique for each element on the page, it is considered the fastest and safest method to locate elements

[riteshprasadmohapatra]

According to me ID locator is best one because ID's are supposed to be unique to each element.

[Homemadefoodsbyveena]

All the locators are the best according to the DOM structure ….as we choose for more perfectness in testing will go with xpath or css locators

[mallika]

Css selector is the most reliable selector. We can easily navigate to child classes using this and it can be used for uniquely identifying elements

[ashokgutte]

if there is ID, then ID is the best
if there is no ID present then prefer Relative xpath coz it's reduce the chances of NoSuchElementException ❤️

[kaminitak]

It's depends on the requirements of the projects.But still I would say I'd and relative xpath would be best.

[amarjitchoudhury]

Every locator have it's own priority but in xpath we use all locator in it and also make new locator and also use starts with and contains like many fuction so xpath is best bcz it have all locator also some customized function....

[padmaramans]

Agile model.
Requirements change are allowed in every time in every stage.
Agile is also known as interactive and Incemetal.

[NiteshKumar-pilg]

it's depend upon the component that which locator is suit at that time..that locator will be best for that component

[sagarkharche]

Anyway I'd but We can locate element dynamically by using CSS and xpath as considering future perspective so this is best.
Pls make a one video on the same

[riteshprasadmohapatra]

ID locator because it is unique to each element.

[MrJUNED]

Relative Xpath is best because it jumps to desired element

[dharandowney]

All locators are eventually best in scenarios based condition but in Relative xpath, it identifies the element more accurate in most scenarios even though elements are dynamic

[rajeshwariuma]

Id and xpath because I'd is the unique for every web elements and xpath is also used to uniquely identify the webelement, it is used to extract a webelement easily

[asharaju]

Xpath is best as not all locators available for each element...the only way we can best locate any element is by accepted

[pradeepb]

If we understand the html really well then we can find any locator easily but among that relative x-path is recommended most..
