Improving Automation Stability: Detecting Selector Changes in Real-Time

In the realm of automation testing, stability is crucial for efficient and reliable test execution. A common challenge faced by automation developers is dealing with selector changes, which can lead to test failures and increased maintenance efforts if developers modify element selectors without notifying the automation team. To address this issue, a tool called Selectors-watcher has been developed to detect selector changes in real-time and notify relevant stakeholders. This tool operates as a git hook, monitoring code changes and notifying team members via Slack channels when selector changes are detected. Implementing Selectors-watcher in automation projects enhances stability by promptly identifying selector changes, reducing test failures, streamlining selector updates, and promoting efficient communication and issue resolution among team members.
