Functional Testing with Selenium: Advanced Selenium Features & Framework Design

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. The AWT Robot class in Selenium automates keyboard and mouse actions, extending test capabilities beyond standard web interactions. Chrome DevTools in Selenium allows testers to monitor and adjust network and browser operations. The page object model and Page Factory streamline web element management in Selenium, improving code maintainability and test efficiency. In this course, you will learn essential skills for managing cookies within web applications, crucial for handling user sessions. You will explore techniques to add, access, and delete cookies using Selenium, and automate file uploads and downloads. Additionally, you will learn to use the Robot class to automate keyboard and mouse actions, enhancing interaction with native OS dialogs. Next, you will discover how to capture requests and responses using Chrome DevTools. You will gain insights into how web pages communicate with servers, identify bottlenecks, and learn to capture logs, block resources, and configure security settings through the browser. Finally, you will build and execute an end-to-end test incorporating all the techniques covered so far. You will create a test suite to assess the checkout flow of an e-commerce site, using the page object model to organize test code efficiently and the Page Factory to reduce boilerplate code, resulting in cleaner and more manageable test scripts.
