Hey Amar,

 

You can use regular expression but if the structure changes then it will also fail.
 (hope it will not do so as it is a button name)

 

The best way:

 

1. Take a snapshot of the page. (earlier to the button)

2. in the response (XML type) find the exact name and made an analysis rule using query and store the id (dynamic) in a variable.

3. Later use the variable in the script for specified button action (Make sure field repleacement enabled)

 

Hope this will help you and exploring more iTest features!!
