Overview of this book

Selenium WebDriver 3.x is an open source API for testing both browser and mobile applications. With the help of this book, you can build a solid foundation and learn to easily perform end-to-end testing on web and mobile browsers. You'll begin by focusing on the Selenium Page Object Model for software development. You'll architect your own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, and support for third-party tools and plugins. Next, you'll design and build a Selenium Grid from scratch to enable the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, and platforms. You'll also strategize and handle a rich web UI using the advanced WebDriver API, and learn techniques to tackle real-time challenges in WebDriver. Later chapters will guide you through performing different types of testing, such as cross-browser testing, load testing, and mobile testing. Finally, you will be introduced to data-driven testing, using TestNG to create your own automation framework. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt books: • Selenium WebDriver 3 Practical Guide - Second Edition by Unmesh Gundecha • Selenium Framework Design in Data-Driven Testing by Carl Cocchiaro

File I/O class

Another utility class that users will need to build is the file I/O class. This is a static Java class that contains all the methods for reading, writing, and deleting files, copying files, renaming files, accessing property files, finding files, setting file paths, extracting data, looking up messages, and many more. Storing all these similar methods in one central location for all CRUD operations (create, read, update, and delete) allows users to call these static methods from any page object or test class. Some of the more common methods will be outlined in this section.

Property files

Property files are common in testing, and are usually used for storing test environment data. There are various formats for property...
