Selenium-WebDriver API by Example<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"Selenium-Webdriver
Selenium-Webdriver API<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this section, we will understand the Selenium-WebDriver API by Example. Therefore, let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n

WebDriver is a tool for automating web application testing and to verify that they work as expected. Moreover, it aims to provide a friendly API that\u2019s easy to explore and understand, which will help to make tests easier to read and maintain.
\nOnce the project is set up, you can see that WebDriver acts just like any normal library. In other words, you are entirely self-contained and you usually don\u2019t need to remember to start any additional processes before using it.
\nAdditional steps are required to use Chrome Driver, Opera Driver, Android Driver, and iOS Driver
\nYou\u2019re now ready to write some code. An example in Java language is:<\/p>\n

package org.openqa.selenium.example;
\nimport org.openqa.selenium.By;
\nSecondly, import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
\nAfter that, import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
\nimport org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
\nimport org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;
\nLastly, import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;<\/p>\n

public class Selenium2Example {
\npublic static void main(String[] args) {
\nFirstly, \/\/ Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
\nSecondly, \/\/ Notice that the remainder of the code relies on the interface,
\n\/\/ not the implementation.
\nWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();<\/p>\n

\/\/ And now use this to visit Google
\ndriver.get(“http:\/\/www.google.com”);
\nFirstly, \/\/ Alternatively the same thing can be done like this
\nAfter that, \/\/ driver.navigate().to(“http:\/\/www.google.com”);<\/p>\n

\/\/ Find the text input element by its name
\nWebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name(“q”));<\/p>\n

\/\/ Enter something to search for
\nelement.sendKeys(“Cheese!”);<\/p>\n

\/\/ Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the element
\nelement.submit();<\/p>\n

\/\/ Check the title of the page
\nSystem.out.println(“Page title is: ” + driver.getTitle());<\/p>\n

\/\/ Google’s search is rendered dynamically with JavaScript.
\n\/\/ Wait for the page to load, timeout after 10 seconds
\n(new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
\npublic Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
\nreturn d.getTitle().toLowerCase().startsWith(“cheese!”);
\n}
\n});<\/p>\n

\/\/ Should see: “cheese! – Google Search”
\nSystem.out.println(“Page title is: ” + driver.getTitle());<\/p>\n

Selenium-WebDriver API Commands and Operations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In order to check what all we have in WebDriver, create a driver object from WebDriver and press the dot key. Further, this will list down all the methods of WebDriver. Methods followed by Object keyword are the generic methods get from Object Class in Java. Above all, you will find this method for every object of java language.<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Java method is a collection of statements that comes together to perform an operation.<\/p>\n
