selector	Description | string			The description of the test object. Can be a full test object description or a string. If a string is provided, it is interpreted as a CSS selector with a default test object type of WebElement.
objType	Description	<optional>	Web.Element()	The type of test object to use when supplying a CSS string for the selector.

Returns:

the new child test object with the provided description.

Type

*
