Prototype Tool for Configurable Selenium Code Generation
summary
Prototype command-line tool that hits a URL, loads the DOM, and spits out configurable page-object code in multiple languages; it currently generates ID and CSS locators via a custom CSS-selector algorithm and emits templated member and method code so it generates compilable page objects. Output is controlled by code templates and an analysis file that lists candidate elements for selective generation. Works on large sites (CNN, BBC, gov) as a prototype; GUI, crawler and API are planned.
