Hi Chuiat,
our customer also wants to use Selenium for functional UI testing. We have seen some challenges with using the several UI ids like "data_test_id". Some of these challenges are e.g. using the correct ID when operating in a grid. Is there some general documentation on how to use the testing facilities in Pega? We are using 7.1.7.

Hello Pals,
I am new to selenium and PEGA TEST ID property, could someone help me on how to use this to identify an element in details. I went through some articles and understood that we need to use the Test ID as the Pega dynamically changes its page property, but not sure how to use the Test ID in the Selenium code. Kindly guide me to get it started.

There should not be anything Pega-specific about using test IDs to locate UI elements in your application.
Here is a generic explanation on how IDs can be used in Selenium: http://www.software-testing-tutorials-automation.com/2014/01/how-to-locate-elements-by-id-in.html
If this is not what you're looking for, please elaborate further.
Best.

Below are the different types of Locators in Selenium :
- ID
- Name
- Class Name
- Tag Name
- Link Text
- Partial Link Text
- CSS Selector
- XPath
Selenium does not provide facility to use data-test-id, which is unique id provided by Pega. This is the biggest limitation with Selenium for Pega application.
If Selenium can find a way to use data-test-id then it would be very much helpful to automate Pega applications.
