What is Object Locator?
An object locator identifies a particular UI object—a button, field, or control—so automation can interact with it reliably. The chosen strategy, whether a role, label, test id, CSS selector, or XPath, directly determines how resilient the test is to change: locators tied to volatile implementation detail break easily, while user-facing ones endure. Managing locators well is one of the biggest levers on suite stability. QI generates resilient object locators during recording and heals them automatically when the UI moves, keeping tests reliably targeted.
