Identifying SAP Ariba elements

Many SAP Ariba web pages, such as Ariba Strategic Sourcing and Ariba Network Buyer, use the AribaWeb framework to display UI elements. Selectors for these elements are easy to identify by the presence of aw- attributes in the selector, which are specific to AribaWeb elements.

The following two attributes are commonly used across all AribaWeb elements:

Attribute	Beschreibung
aw-name	The name of the underlying AribaWeb element (e.g. DataTable, RadioButton).
aw-label	A human-readable label that identifies a specific element. This attribute is not always present, but when available, it is recommended that you use it instead of other attributes.

To achieve stable selectors in certain situations, you can also use other web attributes, such as id, tag, or class.

A selector for a SAP Ariba element contains the <webctrl> tag, similar to other web UI elements.
