Class Notes:
Selenium Class 25: Handling Elements in Selenium

Prerequisites to create Test Cases in Selenium WebDriver

i) Element Locators - to identify Elements in Web Pages
ii) Selenium WebDriver Commands - to perform Operations on the Web Elements

iii) Programming (Java or Python etc...)- to write Test Scripts/to enhance Test Scripts
iv) Testing Framework (either JUnit or TestNG) - to group Test cases, prioritizing Test Cases,
execute Test Batches and generate Test Reports.

Selenium WebDriver API commands Cont...

10) sendKeys()

Enter a value in to an Edit box or Text box

Syntax:


Example:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

//Or


11) clear()

Clears the value from Edit box/Text box

Syntax:


Example:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

Thread.sleep(5000);


//Or
WebElement
editBox.sendKeys("India123");
Thread.sleep(6000);
editBox.clear();

12) click()

Clicks an Element (Button, Link, Radio Button, Check Box...)

Syntax:
Command/click();

Examples:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

Thread.sleep(4000);
//Click Command on Link Element

Thread.sleep(4000);
//Click Command on Button Element

Thread.sleep(4000);
//Click Command on Radio Button

Thread.sleep(4000);
//Click Command on Check Box(Select Operation)
Thread.sleep(4000);
//Click Command on Check Box(Unselect Operation)
Thread.sleep(4000);
driver.close();
}
}

Verification Commands

13) isDisplayed()
Checks weather the element is displayed or not in the current web page
It returns Boolean result, display status is true means visible....
It is applicable only on all type of Elements

Syntax:
boolean displayStatus = Command/isDisplayed();

Example:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
boolean


14) isEnabled()

Checks weather the element is Enabled or not?
It is applicable only on all type of Elements

Syntax:
boolean displayStatus = Command/isEnabled();

Example:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
boolean

Thread.sleep(3000);

boolean



Thread.sleep(3000);

System.out.println(xyz);
driver.close();
}
}

15) isSelected()

Checks weather the element is selected or not?
It is applicable only on Radio Buttons, and Check Boxes

Syntax:
boolean displayStatus = Command/isSelected();

Example:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

boolean selectedStaus



selectedStaus


driver.close();

Selenium Test Steps:

[Mousamastana]

Sir scroll down command is there, we can use that to select check box

[surajrajput-ioub]

Sir do you have git repository so that I can easily check out the code?
