Mastering Selenium WebDriver 3.0 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

The second edition of Mastering Selenium 3.0 WebDriver starts by showing you how to build your own Selenium framework with Maven. You'll then look at how you can solve the difficult problems that you will undoubtedly come across as you start using Selenium in an enterprise environment and learn how to produce the right feedback when failing. Next, you’ll explore common exceptions that you will come across as you use Selenium, the root causes of these exceptions, and how to fix them. Along the way, you’ll use Advanced User Interactions APIs, running any JavaScript you need through Selenium; and learn how to quickly spin up a Selenium Grid using Docker containers. In the concluding chapters, you‘ll work through a series of scenarios that demonstrate how to extend Selenium to work with external libraries and applications so that you can be sure you are using the right tool for the job.

Summary

In this chapter, we spent some time installing docker and working out how to start up a Selenium-Grid. Although this chapter was very much focused on running a Selenium-Grid, you should be able to see many more potential applications of Docker.

By the end of this chapter, you should be able to use docker to start and stop containers as part of your build process. You will also have working implementations using bash scripts, docker compose, and a maven plugin. 

In the next chapter, we are going to examine the constantly evolving fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence, and how they are going to affect the future of Selenium.
