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. By the end of this book, you will have learned enough to solve complex testing issues on your own.

Identifying and handling frames


HTML frames allow developers to present documents in multiple views, which may be in a separate child window or sub-window. Multiple views offer developers a way to keep certain information visible while other views are scrolled or replaced. For example, within the same window, one frame might display a static banner, the second a navigation menu, and the third the main document that can be scrolled through or replaced by navigating in the second frame.

A page with frames is created using the <frameset> tag or the <iframe> tag. All frame tags are nested with a <frameset> tag. In the following example, a page will display three frames, each loading different HTML pages:

<html>
    <frameset cols="25%,*,25%" frameborder="NO" framespacing="0" border="0">
      <frame id="left" src="frame_a.htm" />
      <frame src="frame_b.htm" />
      <frame name="right" src="frame_c.htm" />
    </frameset>
</html>
