Click an element in a web test
Click an element on the page: a button, a link, a menu entry. Describe it in plain language for the AI, or pin it with an XPath or CSS selector.
Click an element on the page: a button, a link, a menu entry. Describe the element in plain language and the AI finds it, or pin it down yourself with an XPath or CSS selector.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Target element | Yes, unless a manual selector is set | Natural-language description of the element. The AI uses it to find the element, for example "The Log in button in the header". |
| Manual selector | No | XPath or CSS selector, used when AI is disabled or as the saved selector. |
| AI usage | No | inherit (default, follows the test strategy), smart, or always. |
| Enable AI | No | When off, only the manual selector is used. Default: on. |
| Ignore error on this step | No | The run continues with the next step if this one fails. Default: off. |
How the AI resolves the element, and when it falls back to the saved selector, is covered in AI selectors.
Results and metrics
- Timing: start, end, and duration (in seconds) recorded in the step result.
- Status: success, warning, or failed, with the error message on failure.
- Screenshot: captured after the click, so you can see the page it led to.
- Step checks: URL, loading time, and step duration checks report their expected and actual values when configured.
- AI usage: if the AI located the element, the healed selector is saved on the test and the AI cost is added to the run.
