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

Using Java 8 Features with Selenium

With Selenium 3.0 moving to Java 8, we can use some of the new features of Java 8, such as Stream API and Lambda or Anonymous functions to create scripts in a functional programming style. We do so by reducing the number of lines of code as well as reaping the benefits of the newer features of the language. In this chapter, we will cover these topics:

  • Introducing Java 8 Stream API 
  • Using Stream API to collect and filter data
  • Using Stream API with Selenium WebDriver
