In test automation, locating elements using unique IDs is a common practice, but what if there’s no ID at all? That’s exactly the challenge in Tosca Challenge 22505 "IDs Are Not Everything": clicking a button labeled "Click Me" when it has no assigned identifier.

For many testers, this scenario breaks traditional automation frameworks, which rely heavily on static element locators. But with TestResults’s functional visual testing approach, solving it becomes fast and effortless.

The Challenge: Why is it tricky?

🔹 The button has no ID, class, or fixed locator to reference.

🔹 Traditional automation relies on these static attributes, making it difficult to find the right element.

🔹 Scripting custom workarounds wastes time and effort.

With TestResults, element recognition doesn’t depend on IDs. It interacts with UI elements based on what’s actually visible on the screen.
