We will be using version 3.13, which is the latest version of Selenium at the time of writing this book. It has developed a lot from its early ancestor, Selenium 1. Selenium RC was another tool that would let you write automated web application UI tests in programming languages such as Java, C#, Python, Ruby, and so on, against a HTTP website using any JavaScript enabled browser. For the coding part, we will be working with Java 8. Learning with Java can be fun and at the same time, fast.

Overview of this book
Selenium WebDriver is a platform-independent API for automating the testing of both browser and mobile applications. It is also a core technology in many other browser automation tools, APIs, and frameworks. This book will guide you through the WebDriver APIs that are used in automation tests.
Chapter by chapter, we will construct the building blocks of a page object model framework as you learn about the required Java and Selenium methods and terminology.
The book starts with an introduction to the same-origin policy, cross-site scripting dangers, and the Document Object Model (DOM). Moving ahead, we'll learn about XPath, which allows us to select items on a page, and how to design a customized XPath. After that, we will be creating singleton patterns and drivers. Then you will learn about synchronization and handling pop-up windows. You will see how to create a factory for browsers and understand command design patterns applicable to this area.
At the end of the book, we tie all this together by creating a framework and implementing multi-browser testing with Selenium Grid.
