Overview of this book

This book is an incremental guide that will help you learn and use the advanced features of the Selenium toolset including the WebDriver API in various situations to build a reliable test automation. You start off by setting up the test development environment and gain tips on the advanced locater strategy and the effective use of the Selenium WebDriver API. After that, the use of design patterns such as data - driven tests and PageFactory are demonstrated. You will then be familiarised with extending Selenium WebDriver API by implementing custom tasks and setting up your own distributed environment to run tests in parallel for cross-browser testing. Finally, we give you some tips on integrating Selenium WebDriver with other popular tools and testing mobile applications.

Automating dropdowns and lists


Selenium WebDriver supports testing dropdown and list elements using a special Select class.

The Select class provides various methods and properties to interact with dropdowns and lists created with the HTML <select> element.

In this recipe, we will automate dropdown and list control using the Select class.

How to do it...

Let's create a test for a dropdown control. This test will perform some basic checks and will then call various methods to select options in the dropdown:

@Test
public void testDropdown() {

  // Get the Dropdown as a Select using it's name attribute
  Select make = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("make")));

  // Verify Dropdown does not support multiple selection
  assertFalse(make.isMultiple());
  // Verify Dropdown has four options for selection
  assertEquals(4, make.getOptions().size());

  // With Select class we can select an option in Dropdown using Visible text
  make.selectByVisibleText("Honda");
  assertEquals("Honda"...
