Overview of this book

Selenium WebDriver is a platform-independent API for automating the testing of both browser and mobile applications. It is also a core technology in many other browser automation tools, APIs, and frameworks. This book will guide you through the WebDriver APIs that are used in automation tests. Chapter by chapter, we will construct the building blocks of a page object model framework as you learn about the required Java and Selenium methods and terminology. The book starts with an introduction to the same-origin policy, cross-site scripting dangers, and the Document Object Model (DOM). Moving ahead, we'll learn about XPath, which allows us to select items on a page, and how to design a customized XPath. After that, we will be creating singleton patterns and drivers. Then you will learn about synchronization and handling pop-up windows. You will see how to create a factory for browsers and understand command design patterns applicable to this area. At the end of the book, we tie all this together by creating a framework and implementing multi-browser testing with Selenium Grid.

Summary

In this chapter, we had a look at the various kinds of synchronization. We started off with Thread.sleep and learned how it is not feasible in most situations. We looked at explicit waits and the ExpectedConditions class. We also learned about fluent waits, and learned how to configure the polling time and use it to display text at intervals. We explored the Function and 'predicates' components of fluent waits.

Finally, we established a best practice of not using implicit and explicit waits together. Doing so can have an unpredictable impact on the execution time of your script, and can even break explicit waits.

In the next chapter, we will dive deep into the Actions class and JavascriptExecutor in detail.
