Custom Property

Overview

Avo Assure supports automation for web applications by using built-in properties to identify on-screen elements. In addition to the eight default properties (e.g., Id, Attribute Name, Class Attribute), two extra fields- Custom 1 and Custom 2 are available for added flexibility.

These fields are useful when the application uses unique attributes (e.g., data-testid, maxlength) that are not part of the standard set, enabling more reliable element identification even when default properties vary.

Note: Custom 1 and Custom 2 only work for web applications.

Custom 1 – Standard Unique Identifier Property

Custom 1 allows users to define a unique element property that is consistently used across the application. This is particularly useful when developers implement a unique attribute (e.g., data-testid, custom-id, etc.) throughout the application to help with element identification.

• This custom property acts as a replacement or extension of the default properties.

• It ensures that the automation scripts remain robust and maintainable by relying on a developer-defined, consistent element identifier.

Custom 2 – Manual Unique Identifier

Custom 2 gives users the flexibility to manually assign a unique or alternate identifier for an element.

• This can be helpful in scenarios where the standard properties and Custom 1 do not provide sufficient identification.

• Users can input any attribute or identifier that reliably distinguishes the element in the current context.

Manual Attribute Update Syntax

When updating a custom attribute manually in the Custom Property settings page, please use the following syntax format:

tagname[attributename="attributevalue"]
