Do you think this way is simple enough to be used?

It’s “reasonable” and you have reasoned it out very well.

But, there are caveats (see link below), as you’ve already hinted at. If your reasoning stands above all other possible solutions, then by all means use it (you might want to document that reasoning using // comments in the source).

Tip: DO NOT CHANGE THE AUT THROUGH TEST CODE

This came up in another thread, and thought it could be reposted here (slightly reworded). I strongly advise against modifying the AUT through testing. If you modify the AUT, any test you make is no longer testing the AUT. You are testing something else entirely. If the user can’t do it, through normal page interactions, your test should not do it, either . You should strive to test what is there, not modify it so you can test something else instead.If you believe the page is behaving impro…

That’s a great mantra/philosophy to work with. But since you are NOT modifying the AUT other than injecting JavaScript, in my view, it’s completely fine (I do it all the time!).
