Object Manager is a robust tool used to capture the web elements in order to get a list of its properties needed for automation testing.
Object Manager is designed to create optimized CSS selectors, XPath, and identify other web properties that are usable across the test cases.

The xpaths are short (except absolute xpaths) and optimized. They are structured in a way that by using the class information and ID along with other object attributes (name, title, etc), the object inspector can withstand certain levels of changes with respect to the page layout.

How to capture web elements using Simplify Object Manager?
Install Simplify Object Manager IDE from Chrome web store
Register if a New User
Enter the following details:
Company email ID
Company name
Phone number
A suitable password
Click on the Register button
Login to the IDE
Cloud User
Pre-configured public server where the objects are pushed
On-prem User
Enter server URL
Select the relevant project from the project selection dropdown.
Click on the Inspect button on the top right corner (you can inspect on all open pages in the browser)
Click on the elements to capture their properties. You will see a blue border on the elements as you move the cursor on the page. This helps in locating the element precisely on the page.
All the captured objects temporarily get saved in IDE. The left navigation pane in the IDE lists all the objects captured and are grouped by the page name or its URL.
Click on the save button to save the objects.

Validate web objects using Simplify Object Manager
Simplify Object Manager provides you with the benefit of validating the objects in a web page with those captured for an active session. Simplify Object Manager IDE validates only the primary object attributes - xpath, id, css, name, and class.
In browser: Open the web page for which objects need to be validated.
In Simplify Object Manager IDE: select the corresponding web page in the left navigation pane
Click on the validate button on the right top corner
Examine the validation result based on the color of the objects in the hierarchy in Simplify Object Manager IDE
Green - No primary object properties changed for the captured object
Orange - One or more of the object’s primary attribute has changed but not all and the object is still identifiable at runtime based on either of its primary attributes
Red - All the primary object attributes have changed
Clicking on the object lists all its captured attributes. Examine each of the attributes based on the attribute color
Green - a valid object attribute
Red - attribute value modified
Simplify Object Manager also lets you capture FLOW XPATHs for any given object with respect to its parent or sibling objects. On saving the object, all the xpaths are dynamically saved to the object repository. This is helpful for identifying dynamic objects at runtime.

Tag team members to projects with Simplify Object Manager
Users can also create new projects and tag people to form new teams. Team members lacking credentials to Simplify Object Manager will immediately get an invitation to register. Post the registration, they will be added to the team.

Renaming the objects attributes
In order to give a meaningful name for better understanding, users tend to rename the captured objects. To rename an object, all you need to do is click on the object in the left navigation pane. All the properties captured for the object get listed on the right pane. Rename the desired attributes and save the changes.

Deleting the objects captured
Delete an object by clicking on the delete icon beside the object in the left navigation pane.

Download the captured objects
You can also export all the objects of a particular project by clicking on the Download button on the top right. Supported download formats:
Excel
JSON
SDK

Library Integrations of Simplify Object Manager
Simplify Object Manager also has Library Integrations so as the other tool users can make use of the object repository. The integrations consist of SDK for the programming languages which after successful implementation can be used in the code for those tools. The objects can thus be used via internal API calls with the SimplifyQA servers.

Supported Browsers

Overview of Simplify3X Software Pvt. Ltd.
Simplify3X started as a functional UI test automation tool addressing script less automation and in-sprint automation in agile methodology. Later we added API testing capability along with DB testing capability. As the market accepted our tool, we added requirement management, project management, release management, test management and defect management capabilities within our platform. Then the demand came for supporting multiple platforms like mobile (both Android and iOS) and mainframe. We also managed to enter the Malaysia Market and then the US market.
Simplify3X has designed and developed an in-house automation product SimplifyQA - a platform that serves as a one stop solution for all your software testing needs. It is a complete ALM tool encompassing Requirement Management, QA & Testing, Issue & Defect Management including Impact Analysis. SimplifyQA offers simplified, UI driven and script less Test Automation, Management & Reporting capabilities as built-in standard features.
Simplify3X featured in TOP 10 Software Testing Solution Provider, 2019 by APAC CIO Outlook.
SimplifyQA requires no knowledge of coding and hence consumes negligible time in training resources and it allows functional testers to write test cases only once that serve the dual purposes of manual and automation. It is thus intended to help development and testing teams become lean and improve quality. It also enables functioning in environments - Agile & Non-Agile.
