Abstract

A method, system and apparatus for locating a testable object in a functional testing tool is provided. The method can include comparing object properties for a mapped testable object to object properties for each of a set of candidate testable objects organized in a hierarchy, computing an anchor object in the hierarchy, and determining a best matching candidate testable object for the mapped testable object without requiring an exact match of the object properties while constraining the comparing and determining steps with respect to the anchor object.
