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.

Preface

This book is going to focus on some of the more advanced aspects of Selenium. It will help you develop a greater understanding of Selenium as a test tool and provide you a series of strategies to help you create reliable and extensible test frameworks.

In the world of automation, there is rarely only one correct way of doing things. This book will provide you with a series of minimalistic implementations that are flexible enough to be customized to your specific needs.

This book is not going to teach you how to write bloated test frameworks that hide Selenium behind an impenetrable veil of obscurity. Instead, it will show you how to complement Selenium with useful additions that fit seamlessly into the rich and well-crafted API that Selenium already offers you.
