Test Data

• Create Excel workbook
• 1st Col = ElementName
• 2nd Col = ElementSelector
• 2nd Col = ElementSelectorString
• Set column headers for each CssProperty

Example:

ImplicitWait

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

FluentWait

• creates a method that polls for a successful findElement() response every 5s - for 30s
• wait.until(loop until no exception/false returned){
  • create an 'on-the-fly' method
    • create a FluentWait wait & set its properties
    • try findElement(By) while response is NoSuchElementFound or null
      • once true, return WebElement

Great explanation on the difference between POM and 'Data Driven' Object Repository

Testing Drupal all but requires POM due to the challenging element selector requirements & the need for multiple actions against the element/page to access it or interact with it.

Namely CKEditor injects an iframe inside a textarea and the need for JavaScriptExecutioner to update the text() of the embedded body tag.

• A WebBrowser is a front-end to a website http server
• A WebDriver is a front-end to a specific WebBrowser that controls interaction with a website
• Selenium-Server is a front-end to a WebDriver that provides API calls to interact the WebDriver over HTTP
  • Theoretically, Selenium Server provides a library of actions/listeners/utils and the WebDriver provides the custom browser implementation
  • Selenium Server does nothing without a WebDriver
• Language bindings provide a language-specific API and interface to Selenium Server API
  • The language bindings expose/translate API calls to Selenium Server
  • Available Selenium Server functions are dependent on the Language Binding
  • Language bindings can differ in their class hierarchies, API structure, and available functions.
• SeleniumCore = Webdriver: chromedriver.exe, iedriver.exe, geckodriver.exe
• SeleniumServer = selenium-se

Still troubleshooting chromium under linux.

These are only notes

Java implementation

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
