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

Exploring different WebDriver event listeners

We have seen some of the methods in our EventListeners that get invoked when their corresponding events are executed, for example, before and after navigation methods are invoked when the navigateTo event is triggered. Here, we'll see all the methods that WebDriverEventListener provides us.

Listening for WebElement value changes

This event occurs when the value of a WebElement changes when the sendKeys() or clear() methods are executed on them. There are two methods associated with this event:

public void beforeChangeValueOf(WebElement element, WebDriver driver)

The preceding method is invoked before the WebDriver attempts to change the value of the WebElement. As a parameter, the...
