Introducing Selenium & Locators: Working with Locators in Selenium

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Selenium WebDriver is a powerful tool in the Selenium suite that enables automation of web applications for testing purposes by directly interacting with browsers. In this course, you will set up a Java project specifically configured to run Selenium tests. You will run your first Selenium test to gain insights into the setup and execution processes, learn to configure drivers manually, adjust browser options, and establish a basic test framework. Additionally, you will discover how to navigate web pages using the Selenium WebDriver. Next, you will understand the importance of locators in Selenium, essential for identifying elements on a webpage. You will learn to interact with web elements using class names and identifiers, locate multiple elements, and search subsets of the Document Object Model (DOM). You will also be introduced to advanced locators using cascading style sheet (CSS) selectors, XPath, and text links, along with relative locators for defining element relationships. Finally, you will explore advanced user interactions with the Selenium Actions application programming interface (API). You will learn to automate button clicks, perform hover and drag-and-drop actions, and execute keyboard operations.
