Master the art of automated testing using Selenium with Java in this comprehensive guide. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced tester, the book equips you with the knowledge and techniques to build robust and maintainable test suites, ensuring the quality and reliability of your web applications. This book starts introducing the basics of automated testing and the importance of Selenium. It then covers the setup and configuration of the Selenium WebDriver in Java, providing a solid foundation for your testing environment. You'll learn essential aspects of Selenium testing in Java, including working with different browsers, locating web elements using locators, and performing actions on them. From there, you’ll explore how to handle dynamic web pages and effective wait mechanisms and verifications to ensure accurate and reliable test results. The book also guides you in setting up Selenium in Java for continuous integration and emphasizes best practices for test codeorganization and maintainability, such as the Page Object Model (POM) and structuring test suites effectively. By the end, you’ll have the expertise to address advanced scenarios, such as working with iframes, and know how TestNG enhances Selenium automation, enabling structured tests, data-driven insights, and swift parallel executions. Throughout the book, you'll benefit from real-world examples and practical exercises that reinforce the concepts. The clear explanations and step-by-step guidance make it easy to follow along and apply the knowledge to your own testing projects.
