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

BrowserMob Proxy Plugin

Another useful tool that is fully integrated with the Selenium WebDriver is called BrowserMob Proxy, and it is developed by Neustar, Inc. This free open source add-on allows users to capture performance data for web applications under test, identify network bottlenecks, modify the behavior of the browser under test, and change traffic patterns on the fly.

Users will set up this proxy server in their Selenium test environment and cast the WebDriver to it, allowing them to manipulate HTTP requests and responses during the test run. It uses the HTTP Archive (HAR) format to capture data.

The BrowserMob Proxy Plugin is developed by (c) 2017 Neustar, Inc and is located at https://bmp.lightbody.net/.
