This class is designed to help individuals master the art of creating practical XPath expressions and effectively utilizing them in automation scripts with Selenium WebDriver. XPath, or XML Path Language, is a powerful tool for locating and interacting with elements in XML and HTML documents, making it an essential skill for automation testers and developers.
Participants will learn the fundamentals of XPath, including how to construct basic and advanced expressions. The class will cover topics such as selecting elements using attributes, text, and hierarchical relationships, as well as using functions like contains()
, starts-with()
, and text()
for dynamic content. Special focus will be on handling complex scenarios, such as identifying elements with dynamic attributes or those embedded deep within a document structure.
Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, attendees will gain practical experience creating robust and efficient XPath expressions. They will also learn best practices for maintaining readability and reusability of XPath selectors in their automation scripts. By the end of the class, participants will have the confidence and skills to integrate XPath into their Selenium WebDriver projects, enabling them to create reliable and scalable automation scripts for testing web applications. This class is ideal for beginners and those looking to enhance their automation expertise.
