A web UI automation maintenance tool includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores UI automation scripts for an initial web page that includes elements to be displayed for the web page, with each element having an element identifier. The processor determines web page specifics for the initial web page, including the attributes for each of the elements. After the initial web page has been updated, the processor determines the web page specifics for the updated web page. The processor compares, for each element, attributes from the initial web page to the updated web page, and identifies a new element identifier for each element that changed from the initial web page to the updated web page. The UI automation script in the memory is updated with the new element identifiers for each element whose element identifier has changed.
