IT Professional Trainer On Automation Testing With Selenium

When you choose XPath if there is any change in the hierarchy of the web table in future, we might need to update with current locator. Other locators like IDs will not be changed as they are default property of the element.

To start learning Selenium, how well do I have to know or be familiar with Java?
If you have to learn Web driver then you have to learn Java. At least you should be learning Core Java. In Selenium Web driver most of the things or every thing is done in Java. Or you can choose alternative programming language.
