The company are developing a new web application which has a friendly User Interface, but the developers have used an object throughout the application which the tool is unable to recognise. As a result, you have no way of capturing the object or verifying the contents using the automation tool. What is the first thing you should do about this problem?
Options

- BInvestigate whether the object can be recognised by other test execution tools in the market.
- CAsk the developers to remove the object and replace it with some text fields.
- DAsk the developers if they can change the object to something that can be recognised by the tool.
