Class Notes:
Selenium WebDriver Commands and Operations

> Selenium WebDriver Methods/Commands are used to perform operations on Web Elements.

> Using Element Locators and WebDriver Commands / Methods we create Test Cases.

Element Locators - To Recognize / Identify Elements

Selenium WebDriver Methods - To perform Operations on Elements

1) get()

Description: Opens a specified URL in the Browser window.

Syntax:

driverObject.get("URL");

Example:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

String BrowserUrl = driver.getCurrentUrl();


BrowserUrl = driver.getCurrentUrl();


5) navigate().back()
