Web UI Automation — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Web UI Automation in QAEverest?
Web UI Automation is an AI-assisted feature that helps you create and execute automated browser-based test scripts for web applications. It can identify UI elements, generate locators, and run end-to-end test flows against a live URL — without requiring manual scripting expertise.
Why is UI Automation marked as Beta?
UI Automation is currently in Beta, meaning the core functionality is available but the feature is still being refined based on user feedback. Some workflows or element types may not yet be fully supported. We recommend using it for evaluation and exploration rather than critical production pipelines at this stage.
How do I access Web UI Automation?
Navigate to Automation → UI Automation in the sidebar. The Beta badge is shown next to the menu item as a reminder of its current status.
What browsers does UI Automation support?
The UI Automation engine targets web-based interfaces via a headless browser. During the Beta period, Chrome-compatible environments are the primary supported target.
How does element/locator detection work?
QAEverest's AI analyses the page DOM and visual layout to identify stable locators for UI elements. It prioritises attributes like data-testid, aria-label, and unique IDs, falling back to CSS selectors or XPath when needed. You can also use the "Find My Locator" tool to inspect any element manually.
