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

This chapter started off with the builder pattern, and we went over the actions class in detail. We created some generic methods that were put into TestBase at the end of this chapter. TestBase serves as a parent for all classes in our framework. This is where inheritance comes into the picture. We saw what JavascriptExecutor is and also created a few generic methods using this API. We went over a few scenarios of the actions class and JavaScriptExecutor. We saw the very important concept of listeners in Selenium and went over EventFiringWebDriver to listen to the executing code and log it to the console. We also downloaded the Selenium Server standalone for the setup of Selenium Grid and went over its architecture.

In the next chapter, we will look at the command pattern and the various pieces of the framework.
