 +==== Web App Automation====
 For test automation, for example web application you would activate //Selenium// plugin.  Once you have the plugin activated, you will be able to use //$SELENIUM// to interact with your web application through //Selenium/WebDriver//.  For test automation, for example web application you would activate //Selenium// plugin.  Once you have the plugin activated, you will be able to use //$SELENIUM// to interact with your web application through //Selenium/WebDriver//. 
  
 For example: For example:
  
-   $SELENIUM.getWebDriver().findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.id('amount').click();+   $SELENIUM.getWebDriver().findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.id('DrinkWater').click();
  
 +=== Page Object===   
 +You could also use //PAGES// tab to define page object:
 +   //PAGES Script
 +   import org.openqa.selenium.By;
 +   mainPage = $SYS.addPage('MainPage')
 +   elem = mainPage.addElement('DrinkWater', By.id('Water'))
 +   elem.addAction('click', { elem, params ->
 +      $SELENIUM.getWebDriver().findElement(elem.locator).click();
 +   })
        
 +Then in //TRIGGERS// tab, you can do this:
 +   $SYS.page('MainPage').element('DrinkWater').perform('click');
 +   
 +The advantage of using page objects is that all element locators are organized and managed in one central place for easy maintenance.
 +
 +=== Find Element Locator ===
 +Web element locator can be xpath, css or by id, etc. as supported by //Selenium//.
 +
 +There are many browser add-on/extension tools that can help you find locators for web element very easily.  Check out [[../externalsources | External Sources]] for a list of such tools.
