Documenting my journey to learning selenium!

Reflection:

I got some good debugging experience when doing CrossPlatformTests.

• Chrome was passing tests but Safari wasn't! It was a big headache getting element not visible / node not visible / stale element / element out of bounds exceptions until I figured out Safari loads slower than chrome so i needed to place some WebDriverWaits to account for Safaris snail loading.

Code Samples:

• Driver setup
• Web Elements
• Locators
  • CssSelector: practicing complex queries
  • XPath
• Waits
  • Implicit Waits
  • Explicit Waits
    • WebDriverWait
• Alerts
• Listeners
• Exception Handling
• Actions and Action class
• Robot class
  • basically only use this when Action is insufficient
  • ex: Action class uses WebDriver API to perform events so if an OS popup occurs, need to use Robot
• JUnit 4 with Selenium!
• TestNG with JUnit and Selenium!
• Cross Browser Testing with TestNG xml file!!!
  • Automated Chrome + Safari testing
• JavaScriptExecutor
