This advanced Selenium WebDriver course delves into sophisticated techniques, starting with various locator types to inspect HTML elements, use CSS selectors, and locate elements with XPath, enhancing web page interaction capabilities.

The course covers automation techniques, allowing learners to practice with real web applications, dynamically manage dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, and handle JavaScript alerts effectively. It then focuses on synchronization using explicit and implicit waits, ensuring scripts run smoothly, and developing end-to-end test cases for e-commerce applications. Functional automation with Python is thoroughly explored, automating complex scenarios on the GreenKart application. The course also includes advanced user interactions using the Action class, techniques for handling child windows and frames, and miscellaneous features like JavaScript execution and web table sorting. Finally, a comprehensive practice project solidifies learning, providing insights into designing efficient automation frameworks with professional-level tips and tricks. This course is ideal for intermediate to advanced testers and developers familiar with basic Selenium concepts. Prior experience with Selenium WebDriver and basic Python programming is recommended.

In this module, we will delve into the various types of locators available in the WebDriver API. You will learn how to inspect HTML to identify attributes, use CSS selectors and Xpath with the ChroPath plugin, and perform text extraction with validation assertions.
