If the system determines that an element is a dynamic element, the system generates an observer for the dynamic element to detect a change to the dynamic element, and if the system detects a signal sent by the observer indicating that a change to the dynamic element has occurred, the system generates a unique automation tag for an element corresponding to the change to the dynamic element. If the system determines that the element is not a dynamic element, the system generates a unique automation tag for the element. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method comprising: analyzing, by one or more hardware processors, an HTML file to identify elements in the HTML file to which to add unique automation tags;
