Are relative locators in Selenium 4 reliable for production tests?

Relative locators in Selenium 4 are a useful feature that allow testers to locate web elements based on their position relative to other elements, such as above, below, toLeftOf, or toRightOf. While they can simplify test scripts and improve readability, their reliability in production tests depends on the consistency of the page layout and element structure. For dynamic applications, relying solely on relative locators may lead to flaky tests. It’s best to combine them with more stable strategies like XPath or CSS selectors. A well-structured Selenium course can teach you when and how to use them effectively.
