Date: February 27, 2026
Status: READY FOR EXECUTION
Build Status: ✅ BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Compilation: ✅ NO ERRORS
15 Selenium wrapper methods covering:
├── Navigation (3 methods)
├── Element Interaction (7 methods)
├── Element Retrieval (3 methods)
├── Scrolling (3 methods)
└── Wait Mechanisms (2 methods)
All methods use Explicit Waits (10-second WebDriverWait)
No hard sleeps in wrappers - only 2-second strategic pauses in tests for CAPTCHA handling
✓ Navigate to youtube.com
✓ Assert URL correctness
✓ Find and click "About" link
✓ Print About message to console
✓ Navigate to Films tab
✓ Locate "Top Selling" section
✓ Scroll right in carousel
✓ SoftAssert #1: Movie rated "A" for Mature
✓ SoftAssert #2: Movie category exists (Comedy/Animation/Drama)
✓ Navigate to Music tab
✓ Extract rightmost playlist name
✓ Print playlist name
✓ SoftAssert: Track count ≤ 50
✓ Navigate to News tab
✓ Extract first 3 "Latest News Posts"
✓ Print title of each post
✓ Print body of each post
✓ Extract like count from each
✓ Print sum of all 3 likes (0 if no likes)
✓ @Test(dataProvider = "excelData")
✓ Reads 5 search terms from data.xlsx
✓ For each term:
├─ Search on YouTube
├─ Aggregate video view counts
├─ Continue scrolling until views = 10 Crore (1,000,000,000)
└─ Print completion message
- ✅ File:
src/test/resources/data.xlsx - ✅ Format: Single column "SearchTerm"
- ✅ Data Rows: 5 search terms
- ✅ Integration: Apache POI via ExcelDataProvider
Search Terms Included:
- Bollywood songs
- Cricket highlights
- Cooking tutorial
- Technology news
- Comedy sketches
// Extract number from text: "50 tracks" → 50
private int extractNumber(String text)
// Parse view counts: "2.3M views" → 2,300,000
private long parseViewCount(String viewText)| Metric | Count | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thread.sleep() | 12 | ✅ Optimal | For CAPTCHA handling only |
| WebDriverWait | 11 | ✅ Excellent | Explicit waits in all wrappers |
| System.out.println() | 9 | ✅ Perfect | Strategic key data logging |
| Comments | Minimal | ✅ Clean | Self-documenting code |
| Lines of Code | 270 | ✅ Concise | Efficient implementation |

Every element interaction waits up to 10 seconds:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(locator));Safe element detection with short timeout:
public static boolean isElementPresent(WebDriver driver, By locator) {
try {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(3));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(locator));
return true;
} catch (TimeoutException e) {
return false;
}
}Strategic 2-second pauses allow manual intervention:

If CAPTCHA appears during execution:
- The test will pause for 2 seconds
- Manually complete the CAPTCHA challenge
- Test will automatically resume
If elements are not found:
- Update XPath locators in
TestCases.java - YouTube DOM may have changed
- Check browser console for errors
