Dynamic object Identification using KATALON Studio.
When object location is changing every time then it is not good practice to update the reference of object in Object Repository. For this it is better to identify the object location dynamically by using method like modifyObjectProperty
Below is sample code which will give you idea how to identify the object runtime , how to set the xpath for the object to identify.
In this exmaple we are searching text “free society account software” and then we want to click on societyhive.com link if displayed.
