Xpath for an Anchor tag in Automation Testing
Use the 'a' tag in the Xpath expression to target anchor tags
Use '@href' attribute to specify the link of the anchor tag
Example: //a[@href='https://www.example.com']
Challenges faced in automation project and how they were overcome
Lack of skilled resources - Conducted training sessions to upskill team members
Unstable test environment - Implemented robust error handling mechanisms
Changing requirements - Utilized agile methodologies to adapt quickly
Integration issues with third-party tools - Collaborated with vendors for solutions
Selenium Architecture is a framework that consists of different components for automated testing of web applications.
Selenium WebDriver: It is the core component that allows interaction with web elements.
Selenium Grid: It enables parallel execution of tests across different browsers and environments.
Selenium IDE: It is a record and playback tool for creating test scripts.
Selenium RC (Remote Control): It is the predeces...
Yes, I have faced synchronization problems while automating tests.
Yes, I have encountered synchronization issues when elements load at different speeds on a webpage.
To overcome this, I have used explicit waits in Selenium to wait for specific conditions before proceeding with the test.
I have also used implicit waits to set a default waiting time for the elements to load.
In some cases, I have used Thread.sleep() to paus...
Other exceptions handled in automation testing besides NoSuchElementException
ElementNotVisibleException - when element is present in DOM but not visible on the page
StaleElementReferenceException - when element is no longer attached to the DOM
TimeoutException - when a command does not complete in a specific time frame
NoSuchWindowException - when the window target to be switched doesn't exist
InvalidElementStateException ...
OOPS concepts are fundamental principles of Object-Oriented Programming, including inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, and abstraction.
Inheritance: Allows a class to inherit properties and behavior from another class.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit.
Polymorphism: Ability to present the same interface for different data types.
Abstraction: Hiding the complex imple...
Relative xpath is based on the current position of an element, while absolute xpath starts from the root element.
Relative xpath is shorter and less prone to breaking with changes in the DOM structure.
Absolute xpath is longer and more specific, starting from the root element of the HTML document.
Relative xpath is preferred for dynamic web elements, while absolute xpath is more suitable for static elements.
Example: Relat...
Java program to reverse a string
Create a StringBuilder object
Use the reverse() method to reverse the string
Convert the StringBuilder object back to a string
A framework is a set of guidelines, coding standards, concepts, and practices that provide structure and support for automated testing.
Framework helps in organizing and executing automated tests efficiently.
Common frameworks include Data-Driven, Keyword-Driven, Hybrid, and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD).
In my project, I have worked on a Data-Driven framework where test data is separated from test scripts for easy ma
TestNG provides the ability to re-run failed test cases using the 'retryAnalyzer' feature.
Implement a custom 'IRetryAnalyzer' class to define the retry logic for failed test cases.
Specify the 'retryAnalyzer' attribute in the @Test annotation with the custom retry analyzer class.
Set the 'retryAnalyzer' attribute to the custom class name in the testng.xml file to apply the retry logic globally.
Failed test cases will be a...
Interface in Java is a reference type in Java, similar to a class, that can contain only constants, method signatures, default methods, static methods, and nested types.
An interface is a blueprint of a class that can have abstract methods and constants.
Interfaces are used to achieve abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java.
Classes can implement multiple interfaces but can only extend one class.
Example: interface Sh...
Fluent wait, implicit wait, and explicit wait are different types of wait strategies used in automation testing to handle synchronization issues.
Fluent wait is a dynamic wait mechanism in Selenium WebDriver that waits for a condition to be true with a specified polling frequency.
Implicit wait is a global wait applied to all elements in the WebDriver instance, allowing a certain amount of time for elements to load befor...
Yes, TestNG supports crossbrowser testing by allowing the execution of test cases on multiple browsers in parallel.
TestNG allows the use of @Parameters annotation to pass browser type as a parameter to test methods.
TestNG can be integrated with Selenium WebDriver to run tests on different browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
TestNG provides the flexibility to run tests in parallel on multiple browsers for faster e
