Selenium WebDriver

List out the technical challenges with Selenium

Allows only web based applications, not support the Bitmap comparison, reporting not supported, No vendor support, no object repository concepts like HP UFT

What is Object Repository

An object repository is an essential entity in any UI automations which allows a tester to store all object in centralize location

difference between verify and assert commands

Assert allows to check whether an element is on the page or not - pass or failed - edit test Verify command will check whether the element is on the page In verification, all the commands are going to run guaranteed even if any of test fails.

Implicit Wait: Sets a timeout for all successive Web Element searches Explicit Wait : It is a one-timer, used for a particular search.

customized html report using TestNG in hybrid framework

Impliment ANT or XSLT reports

Mention what is Listeners in Selenium WebDrive

In Selenium WebDriver, Listeners "listen" to the event defined in the selenium script and behave accordingly. It allows customizing TestNG reports or logs. There are two main listeners i.e. WebDriver Listeners and TestNG Listeners

in order to display the values of a variable into the output console

In order to display a constant string ---,System.out.println()

Mention what is desired capability? How is it useful in terms of Selenium

It can be used to configure the driver instance of Selenium WebDriver. When you want to run the test cases on a different browser with different operating systems and versions.

advantages of Selenium

Language support, OS support, dom locator support and opensource community support

how to login into site with authentication popup for username / Password?

Pass the username and password with url Syntax-http://username:password@url ex- http://creyate:[email protected]

Mention when to use AutoIT?

Selenium is designed to automate web-based applications on different browsers. But to handle window GUI and non-HTML popups in the application you need AutoIT. know more about How to use AutoIT with Selenium

single and double slash in X-path

Single slash ( / ) start selection from the document node ( create 'absolute' path expressions) Double slash ( // ) start selection matching anywhere in the document.create 'relative' path expressions

difference between setSpeed() and sleep() methods

Sleep will stop the current (java) thread for the specified period of time SetSpeed For specific amount of time it will stop the execution for every selenium command

features of TestNG

Support for annotations Support for data-driven testing Flexible test configuration Ability to re-execute failed test cases

To generate pdf reports mention what Java API is required?

To generate pdf reports, you need Java API IText

iterate through options in test script

To iterate through options for different test data in a text box you can use "for" loop in Java

how you can switch back from a frame

To switch back from a frame use method defaultContent()

how you can switch between frames

To switch between frames webdrivers [ driver.switchTo().frame() ]A number or ID: Select a frame by its name or ID

how you can handle colors

Use getCssValue(arg0) function to get the colors by sending 'color' string as an argument

what are the challenges in Handling Ajax Call in Selenium Webdriver

Using "pause" command for handling Ajax call Long pause time makes the test unacceptably slow and increases the testing time.

what ways you can customize TestNG report

Using ITestListener Interface Using IReporter Interface

How will you handle working with multiple windows

We can use the command selectWindow to switch between windows. This command uses the title of Windows to identify which window to switch to.

Webdriver how you can perform double click

You can perform double click by using Syntax- Actions act = new Actions (driver); act.doubleClick(webelement);

How will you use Selenium to upload a file

You can use "type"command to type in a file input box of upload file. Then, you have to use "Robot" class in JAVA to make file upload work.

How can you retrive the message in an alert box

You can use the storeAlert command which will fetch the message of the alert pop up and store it in a variable.

How will you verify the specific position of an web element

You can use verifyElementPositionLeft & verifyElementPositionTop. It does a pixel comparison of the position of the element from the Left and Top of page respectively

Which attribute you should consider throughout the script in frame for "if no frame Id as well as no frame name"?

You can use.....driver.findElements(By.xpath("//iframe"))...

What is same origin policy? How you can avoid same origin policy?

any code loaded within the browser can only operate within that website's domain. By using proxy setup or proxy injection mode the Selenium Server acts as a client configured HTTP proxy

how you can create html test report

default.html to get the HTML report. Also XLST reports from ANT

How will you find an element using Selenium

In Selenium every object or control in a web page is referred as an elements, there are different ways to find an element in a web page they are ID, Name, Tag, Attribute, CSS, Linktext, PartialLink, Text, Xpath etc

difference between find elements () and find element ()

It finds the first element within the current page using the given "locating mechanism". It returns a single WebElement findElements () : Using the given "locating mechanism" find all the elements within the current page. It returns a list of web elements.

Mention why do you need Session Handling while working with Selenium

during test execution, the Selenium WebDriver has to interact with the browser all the time to execute given commands. At the time of execution, it is also possible that, before current execution completes, someone else starts execution of another script, in the same machine and in the same type of browser. So to avoid such situation you need Session Handling.

How do you identify an object using selenium

isElementPresent(String locator)

In Selenium what are Breakpoints and Startpoints

Breakpoints: When you implement a breakpoint in your code, the execution will stop right there. This helps you to verify that your code is working as expected. StartpointsStartpoint indicates the point from where the execution should begin. Startpoint can be used when you want to run the testscript from the middle of the code or a breakpoint.

what is Datadriven framework

Datadriven framework: In this framework, the test data is separated and kept outside the Test Scripts, while Test Case logic resides in Test Scripts. Test data is read from the external files ( Excel Files) and are loaded into the variables inside the Test Script. Variables are used for both for input values and for verification values.

What are core extension

If you want to "extend" the defualt functionality provided by Selenium Function Library , you can create a Core Extension. They are also called "User Extension".

What is selenium Webdriver

It provide the APIs for a variety of languages like Java, .NET, PHP, etc. With most of the browsers Webdriver

What is Keyword Driven framework

Keyworddriven framework: The keyword driven frameworks requires the development of data tables and keywords, independent of the test automation. In a keyword driven test, the functionality of the application under test is documented in a table as well as step by step instructions for each test.

Mention what are the advantages of Using Git Hub For Selenium

Multiple people when they work on the same project they can update project details and inform other team members simultaneously. Jenkins can help you to build the project from the remote repository regularly. This helps you to keep track of failed builds.

What is heightened privileges browsers

The purpose of heightened privileges is similar to Proxy Injection, allows websites to do something that are not commonly permitted
