3. Selenium WebDriver

Learning Objectives - In this module we look into Selenium WebDriver and setting up an environment for execution. Running test cases on multiple browsers. Loading of browser with selenium driver. Object identification using WedDriver API. Handling of special test cases like alert window, working with frames, page refresh and navigation.

Topics - Introduction and architecture of Selenium WebDriver, Configuring Selenium WebDriver in Eclipse, Working with Firefox Driver, IE Driver, Chrome Driver, Safari Driver, Cross Browser Testing, Launching browsers with drivers, Object Identification, WebDriver Special Cases - Working on Frames, Handling Web tables, Handling Alert/Dialog boxes, Handling of dropdown, Handling of Textbox, Page Refresh, Back and Forward Navigation of Page.

4. Validation and Designing of Framework

Learning Objectives - This module will cover validation of web elements and content validation. Design of Automation framework using keyword driven and data driven approach.

Topics - Validation of Radio button, Checkboxes, Read only and Disabled fields, Scroll down, Validating Page Content, Page Title, Page URL, Textbox Value and Colour of text, Selenium Framework Design- Data driven framework, Keyword driven framework, Hybrid Framework.

5. WebDriver Advanced Usage and Selenium IDE

Learning Objectives - This module will cover additional features of Selenium WebDriver which makes it far much better than any other automation tool. As these features comes with the tool itself so it makes it very easy to use .In the end you will learn about Selenium IDE and how to work with it.

Topics - WebDriver: Advanced Usage - Explicit and Implicit Waits, Handling of keyboard events, Uploading a file using Selenium WebDriver, Exception Handling with Selenium WebDriver, Taking screenshot with Selenium WebDriver, Handling Cookies with Selenium WebDriver, Advanced User Interactions - Browser Startup Manipulation, Migration of Selenium1 code to Selenium2.
