In order to execute our automation scripts with multiple test data, you need to make use of parameterization. The intent of executing tests with multiple sets of test data is to ensure that various data doesn’t create issues during application usage.
How to Parameterize Test Data in Selenium?
Selenium tool doesn’t offer an inbuilt parameterizing option, rather you can consider parameterizing from an external source preferable Excel. In order to work with Excel file, we need to use API’s such as Apache POI or JXL.
WebDriver offers two methods know Close and Quit, both of
them are used to exit the browser from current status. But why do we have two
methods, well there is a difference between these two
What is the difference between WebDriver Close and Quit
methods?
Close
Quit
Close command is used to close the current
active window in the browser.
Quit command will close the entire browser
irrespective of how many windows/tabs/pop-ups are open.
Preferred to use when test is dealing with
multiple browser tabs or windows e.g. when a new tab is opened upon some
action.
To be used when the interaction with the
driver object along with any associated window, tab or pop-up is not
associated.
One of the last statements of the automation
scripts.
Alert is a window which pops-up based on some condition when Alert occurs the focus is moved to alert. During test automation, it is important to handle the alerts according to intended tests.
Selenium provides an interface known as “Alert” with different methods to operate on alert window like accept(), dismiss(), sendKeys() and getText()
Returns an empty list if no matching elements found
No exception will be thrown if elements not found.
When
implicitly waiting, this method will return as soon as there are more than 0
items in the found collection, or will return an empty list if the timeout is
reached
One of the API’s from Selenium which is powerful enough to perform complex actions from the user. This class offers wide variety of methods to support the user actions for Key-Board and Mouse
If and Assert statements serve a different purpose, but they are similar functions. Here we would talk about the usage of “if” and when to use “asserts” in our automation scripts.
If Clause – An “If” clause is a condition that can be either True or False.
What is the Difference Between Verification & Asserts in Selenium
Assert Statement – An “Assert” statement is a condition that can be either True or False.
Ex: assertTrue(isElementPresent(By.id(“sample”)));
Well then what’s the difference? Let us explore, In the case of assert test would stop upon failure of the assert whereas in the case of If clause it just continues to execute rest of the test.
Conclusion – Use the clauses according to the needs of the test scenario, get in touch with us to know more in details.
