Abstract
The disclosed technology provides resource locators keyed to resource names with failover alternate resource locators keyed to resource positions on user interfaces in a test environment: providing a central repository for resource locators and storing a set of alternative locator expressions for a resource in the central repository. The set includes first resource locators keyed to resource names on UIs and respective second resource locators keyed to resource positions on UIs that can be evaluated when the resource name in the respective first resource locator is invalid. The method invokes a resource location navigator to locate a particular resource using a first resource locator keyed to a resource name on the user interface, automatically invoking the resource location navigator using the second resource locator keyed to the resource position after failure of locating the particular resource using the resource name, and accessing the particular resource using the second resource locator.
