/**
 * <h3>Obtaining locators</h3>
 * A locator is a stable, framework-generated string that uniquely identifies a UI component or
 * DOM element in an application. <P> <b>Ways to obtain locators</b> <ol> <li><b>Developer
 * Console</b> ? Open the console, enable "Show AutoTest Locators", then click a UI element to see
 * its  locator. Copy it from the console.</li> <li><b>Locator shortcut script</b> ? Run a helper
 * script like <code>AutoTest.installLocatorShortcut()</code>, then  click an element while
 * holding modifier keys to copy its locator to the clipboard.</li> </ol> <P> <b>Resolving
 * locators</b>   <p> Use APIs like <code>AutoTest.getElement()</code> or
 * <code>AutoTest.waitForElement()</code> to convert a locator  back to a DOM element, with
 * optional waiting for asynchronous operations to finish.
