Element identification in testing refers to the process of locating and interacting with elements on a webpage or application to validate its behavior. This is crucial for test automation to accurately simulate user interactions and verify the functionality of the software. In testing, elements such as buttons, input fields, dropdown menus, etc., need to be identified uniquely to perform actions like clicking, entering text, selecting options, etc. Effective element identification ensures that automated tests can reliably replicate user interactions, leading to efficient and reliable testing processes.---
