Web GUI automation SWITCH tab

how to switch tab in web gui Automation

In AutomationEdge Web GUI automation, switching tabs/windows depends on how the step is created.

1. Using Recorder or GUI Spy
If you generate the step using Web Recorder or GUI Spy, you do not need to add a separate “Switch Tab/Window” step.
This is because GUI Spy automatically captures the page title/window details, and AutomationEdge internally handles the tab/window switch while executing the step.

2. Creating steps manually
If you are manually creating the steps, then you must explicitly add:
GUI : Web Switch Window step.

In this step, provide the appropriate identifier (usually Page Title) to switch control to the required browser tab/window before performing any action.

When filtering steps by “GUI”, you can find all related steps for windows/web/java management. In this case, GUI: Web Switch Window is the step that can switch between tabs.
