Webtables in Selenium can be handled using methods like findElements, getText, getAttribute, etc.

• Use findElements method to locate the table and its rows

• Iterate through rows and columns using loops

• Use getText method to retrieve text from cells

• Use getAttribute method to retrieve specific attributes like class, id, etc.

There are two types of XPath: Absolute and Relative. Absolute XPath starts from the root node, while Relative XPath starts from any node.

• Absolute XPath starts with a single forward slash (/) and is used to select nodes starting from the root node.

• Relative XPath starts with a double forward slash (//) and is used to select nodes anywhere in the document.

• Examples: Absolute XPath - /html/body/div[1]/p[2], Relative XPath - //input[@id='username']

Different types of Selenium waits include implicit, explicit, and fluent waits.

• Implicit wait: Waits for a certain amount of time before throwing a NoSuchElementException.

• Explicit wait: Waits for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further in the code.

• Fluent wait: Waits for a condition to be true with a specified frequency of checking.

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

We use a hybrid automation framework combining keyword-driven and data-driven approaches.

• Combines keyword-driven and data-driven testing

• Allows for reusability of test scripts

• Enhances maintainability and scalability of automation suite

Implicit wait is used to wait for elements to load in the DOM, while explicit wait is used to wait for a specific condition to be met.

• Implicit wait is set globally for the entire duration of the WebDriver instance.

• Explicit wait is applied only to specific elements or conditions.

• Implicit wait is defined once and applied to all elements, while explicit wait is defined each time it is needed.

• Example: Implicit wait - driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)...read more
