Integration testing of web applications utilizing dynamically generated automation identifiers

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device to perform steps of:

• selecting at least a subset of a plurality of web components of a web application, the plurality of web components of the web application being arranged in a web component hierarchy, each of the plurality of web components comprising one or more web elements of the web application;
• assigning a tag to each web component in the subset of the plurality of web components, the tags comprising parameters identifying respective ones of the web components in the subset of the plurality of web components;
• dynamically generating an automation identifier for a given instance of at least one of the one or more web elements of the web application, the generated automation identifier being based at least in part on the parameters of the tags assigned to web components in the subset of the plurality of web components that are in a path from a root of the web component hierarchy to the at least one web element;
• and
• performing integration testing of the web application utilizing the dynamically generated automation identifier for the given instance of the at least one web element.

A method comprising steps of:

• selecting at least a subset of a plurality of web components of a web application, the plurality of web components of the web application being arranged in a web component hierarchy, each of the plurality of web components comprising one or more web elements of the web application;
• assigning a tag to each web component in the subset of the plurality of web components, the tags comprising parameters identifying respective ones of the web components in the subset of the plurality of web components;
• dynamically generating an automation identifier for a given instance of at least one of the one or more web elements of the web application, the generated automation identifier being based at least in part on the parameters of the tags assigned to web components in the subset of the plurality of web components that are in a path from a root of the web component hierarchy to the at least one web element;
• and
• performing integration testing of the web application utilizing the dynamically generated automation identifier for the given instance of the at least one web element;
• wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
