Mastering Selenium WebDriver 3.0 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

The second edition of Mastering Selenium 3.0 WebDriver starts by showing you how to build your own Selenium framework with Maven. You'll then look at how you can solve the difficult problems that you will undoubtedly come across as you start using Selenium in an enterprise environment and learn how to produce the right feedback when failing. Next, you’ll explore common exceptions that you will come across as you use Selenium, the root causes of these exceptions, and how to fix them. Along the way, you’ll use Advanced User Interactions APIs, running any JavaScript you need through Selenium; and learn how to quickly spin up a Selenium Grid using Docker containers. In the concluding chapters, you‘ll work through a series of scenarios that demonstrate how to extend Selenium to work with external libraries and applications so that you can be sure you are using the right tool for the job.

Summary

In this chapter, we have had a look at what the future may hold for Selenium and where we currently are in that journey. After reading this chapter, you will have a basic understanding of machine learning/artificial intelligence.

In this chapter we specifically focussed on visual testing and the various pros and cons. You will also have been introduced to Applitools, one of the more exciting implementations of visual testing backed by machine learning. Finally, we had a look at some of the self-healing testing systems that are available right now, which may have given you an idea of how the role of a tester may evolve in the future.
