Overview of this book

Selenium WebDriver is a global leader in automated web testing. It empowers users to perform complex testing scenarios with its simple and powerful interface. This guide will provide you with all the skills you need to successfully create a functional Selenium test suite. Starting from the very beginning of the Selenium IDE, this book will show you how to transition into a real programing language such as Ruby or Java. You will quickly learn how to improve your code quality with refactoring and the skills needed to plan for the future development of your website to future-proof your test suite. With ample test examples running against a life-like e-commerce store and detailed step-by-step code review and explanations, you will be ready to test any challenge web developers might throw your way. This book is intended for anyone who wants to create a test suite that is easy to maintain by expanding your knowledge until you feel truly confident and comfortable with Selenium.

The idea behind the Action Wrapper pattern is to collect all of the most common pain points, such as AJAX, and automatically implement them every time that action is performed. It helps to future proof the tests by automatically accounting for things that commonly go wrong and destabilizing the tests.

Advantages of the Action Wrapper pattern

The Action Wrapper pattern has a lot more advantages than disadvantages; let's take a look at them:

  • Single location for actions: All of the actions such as clicking, typing, and dealing with AJAX requests and animations are in a single class. This makes them easy to find and modify and very DRY.

    Note

    The DRY principle and the DRY pattern are discussed in Chapter 3, Refactoring Tests.

  • Increased overall build stability: Overall, the test suite becomes a lot more stable since forgetting to add a wait no longer breaks random tests at random times.

  • Capture and append exceptions: If an action (such as clicking on a button) cannot be...
