By: Pallavi Sharma, UNMESH GUNDECHA, Satya Avasarala

Overview of this book

Selenium WebDriver is an open source automation tool implemented through a browser-specific driver, which sends commands to a browser and retrieves results. The latest version of Selenium 3 brings with it a lot of new features that change the way you use and setup Selenium WebDriver. This book covers all those features along with the source code, including a demo website that allows you to work with an HMTL5 application and other examples throughout the book. Selenium WebDriver 3 Practical Guide will walk you through the various APIs of Selenium WebDriver, which are used in automation tests, followed by a discussion of the various WebDriver implementations available. You will learn to strategize and handle rich web UI using advanced WebDriver API along with real-time challenges faced in WebDriver and solutions to handle them. You will discover different types and domains of testing such as cross-browser testing, load testing, and mobile testing with Selenium. Finally, you will also be introduced to data-driven testing using TestNG to create your own automation framework. By the end of this book, you will be able to select any web application and automate it the way you want.

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...
