SelectorsHub and Model-Based Automation — feat. Sanjay Kumar & James Walker (SelectorsHub)
Building rock-solid element identifiers and combining them with model-based testing for reusable automation.
Sanjay Kumar, creator of the community-driven SelectorsHub XPath and CSS selector IDE, explains how the tool teaches testers to build robust selectors and handle tricky cases like nested shadow DOM, iframes, and disappearing dropdowns, all born from community feedback. James Walker of Curiosity Software describes the open testing platform and Test Modeler, which visualize what is being tested as flowchart models and let teams normalize automation across mixed tooling. Together they show how good identifiers plus model-based testing lay a strong foundation, enable self-healing by changing a component in a single location, and let organizations auto-assemble models, tests, and test data, illustrated by an education company generating training-pathway tests as part of CI/CD.
**In this episode:**
- Test Automation
- Model-Based Testing
- Test Management & Tooling
- Low-Code / No-Code Testing
- Codeless Automation
- Test Data Management
- Mentoring & Community
- Test Case Design
**Guest:** Sanjay Kumar — Founder & Creator of SelectorsHub, SelectorsHub
**Guest:** James Walker — Founder / testing leader, Curiosity Software
**Host:** Jonathon Wright — *The Automation Cyborg*
> “Your automation is only as good as the identifier someone has scripted, so if you start from the beginning with really good identifiers, that is laying the foundation to build good automation later on.”
🎧 *Subscribe to The QA Lead on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts for conversations on software testing, QA, test automation and the future of quality engineering.*
