C seems risky. Using coordinates is not reliable for automation.

I agree, but B could also be important. Browser differences might affect identification.

I think A is the best choice. Contacting the provider can clarify issues.

D feels a bit off, naming standards won’t fix the core problem.

I’m surprised this is an issue, thought all components would be identifiable!

C is a workaround, but not ideal for maintainability.

B seems important too, could be a browser issue.

I’d go with A, definitely need to check with the providers first.

I feel like using coordinates could be a workaround, but it seems like a last resort. I’d want to explore other options first before going that route.

I practiced a similar question before, and I chose to verify the testability support. It just makes sense to get information directly from the source.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about browser compatibility affecting GUI identification. Maybe checking that first could help narrow down the issue?

I think the first step should be to verify the testability support with the providers of the third party components. That seems logical since they would know best about their own products.
