One of our product UI is based on smart client.
The UI had 8.0 version of smart client and we are having this product from a more than 6-8 years. Recently we have upgraded it to 10.0 to get Arabic language support.
We are having a big set of UI automation around the product. After the upgrade we have noticed that most of the identifiers have moved from one HTML tag to another.
For ex: Earlier Sign-in was under <td> but aftre upgrade it moved to <td><div>.
Due to this none of our xpaths are working and resulting in our automation failure.
Before we get engaged to update the xpaths, we would like to gather some information on this so that we can do the update faster.
1. Will there be any specific pattern will be followed for such changes ? Like all <td>s will me changed to <td><div> etc
2. Is there any similar issues brought up earlier ?
3. Is there any easier way that can be suggested instead of checking each and every xpath which we have created for our automation suit ?
