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

Learning mouse based interactions

There are around eight different mouse actions that can be performed using the actions class. We will see each of their syntax and a working example.

The moveByOffset action

The moveByOffset() method is used to move the mouse from its current position to another point on the web page. Developers can specify the x distance and the y distance the mouse has to be moved. When the page is loaded, generally the initial position of the mouse would be (0, 0), unless there is an explicit focus declared by the page.

The API syntax for the moveByOffset() method is as follows:

 public Actions moveByOffset(int xOffSet, int yOffSet)

In the preceding code, xOffSet is the input parameter providing the WebDriver the...
