Study Notes

Selenium Testing

  • Test cases are written using a tool, but the specific tool is not specified.
  • The parent element for web tables in Selenium is not specified.
  • In XPath, child elements placed to the right of their parent element are siblings.
  • Siblings in XPath are elements that have the same parent element.
  • Predicates in XPath are used to filter elements based on specific conditions.

XPath

  • Predicates are placed in square brackets [] in XPath.
  • To access the second sibling in XPath, use the index [2].
  • The correct XPath code to access a nested table is //table/tbody/tr/td.
  • The unique attribute used as a predicate in XPath is @id or @name.

WebDriver

  • The output of the WebDriver code to retrieve the inner text of a cell is the text content of the cell.
  • The purpose of the WebDriver code is to automate web browser interactions.
  • The baseUrl variable is used to store the base URL of the website.
  • The innerText variable is used to store the text content of an element.
  • The driver.quit() method is used to close the browser window.

Web Tables

  • A web table is a table on a web page, often used to display data.
  • Web tables and their elements can be accessed in Selenium using XPath or CSS selectors.
  • The most reliable method to access elements within HTML tables in Selenium is using XPath.
  • We need to access elements within HTML tables in Selenium when we need to automate interactions with a web table.
  • An example of a web table is a table on a website displaying flight schedules.

XPath and Selenium

  • XPath is used to handle web tables in Selenium because it allows for flexible and precise element selection.
  • Nested tables can be accessed in Selenium using XPath with the // symbol.
  • The shortcut method for accessing tables in Selenium is using the //table XPath code.
  • The tbody element is used in XPath to specify the table body.

Java and XPath

  • The symbol @ is used to prefix attributes as predicates in XPath.
  • Attributes are used as predicates in XPath to filter elements based on specific conditions.
  • The escape character \ is used in Java to escape double quotation marks ".

Testing

  • Integration Testing is a type of testing that involves testing interactions between multiple components.
  • JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is a platform that runs Java code.

Inspect Element

  • The purpose of using Inspect Element in Selenium is to identify the XPath code for an element.
  • The quickest way to generate XPath code for an element using Inspect Element is by right-clicking on the element and selecting "Inspect" or "Inspect Element".
