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

Modifying the existing test script to use Selenium Grid

So far, we have seen test scripts that run on our local machines or on Selenium Standalone servers. Executing test scripts on Selenium Grid is very similar to executing tests on Remote WebDriver, except that you will also mention the platform details for Grid.

Let's look at a test script that uses the Remote WebDriver server:

public class SearchTest {

WebDriver driver;

@BeforeMethod
public void setup() throws MalformedURLException {

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();

caps.setBrowserName("chrome");
caps.setPlatform(Platform.MAC);

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.0.101:1111/wd/hub"), caps);
driver.get("http://demo-store.seleniumacademy.com/");

}

@Test
public void searchProduct() {

// find search...
