Tell me, what locators did you use to find elements on the page.

In automation testing, I used different locators to find elements on the page:
- ID — the fastest and most reliable method if the element has a unique
idattribute. - Name — useful for forms and input fields.
- Class Name — for finding elements by class, especially if the class is unique or used for grouping.
- CSS Selector — a flexible and powerful locator that allows searching for elements using complex selectors, such as nested elements, attributes, and pseudo-classes.
- XPath — a universal locator that enables searching for elements based on document structure, attributes, and text.
Example of usage in Selenium with Go:
// Find by ID
element := driver.FindElement(selenium.ByID, "submit-button")
// Find by CSS selector
element := driver.FindElement(selenium.ByCSSSelector, ".form-group input[type='text']")
// Find by XPath
element := driver.FindElement(selenium.ByXPATH, "//div[@class='container']//button[text()='Отправить']")
The choice of locator depends on the stability and uniqueness of attributes on the page to ensure tests are reliable and do not break with UI changes.
