PrefaceThis book is about Selenium WebDriver, also known as Selenium 2, which is a UIautomation tool used by software developers and QA engineers to test their webapplication on different web browsers. The reader is expected to have a basic ideaof programming, preferably using Java, because we take the reader through severalfeatures of WebDriver using code examples. This book can be used as a reference foryour day-to-day usage of WebDriver.What this book coversChapter 1, Introducing WebDriver and WebElements ZLOO VWDUW RII E\ EULHÁ\ GLVFXVVLQJ the history of Selenium and the differences between Selenium 1 and Selenium 2.Then, we quickly jump into WebDriver by describing how it perceives a web page.We will also look at what a WebDriver's WebElement is. Then, we talk about locatingWebElements on a web page and performing some basic actions on them.Chapter 2, Exploring Advanced Interactions of WebDriver, will dive deeply into moreadvanced actions that WebDriver can perform on the WebElements of a web page,such as the dragging-and-dropping of elements from one frame of a page to anotherDQG ULJKW FRQWH[W FOLFNLQJ RQ :HE(OHPHQWV :H UH VXUH \RX ZLOO ÀQG WKLV FKDSWHU interesting to read.Chapter 3, Exploring the Features of WebDriver, will talk about some advanced featuresof WebDriver, such as taking screenshots of web pages, executing JavaScript, andhandling cookies and proxies.

When we discussWebDriver in Chapter 1, Introducing WebDriver and WebElements, we will see that:HE'ULYHU KDV VSHFLÀF LPSOHPHQWDWLRQV IRU PRVW RI WKH SRSXODU EURZVHUV DYDLODEOH on the market.Chapter 5, Understanding WebDriver Events, will deal with the event-handling aspectof WebDriver. To state a few, events can be a value change on a WebElement,a browser back-navigation invocation, script execution completion, and so on.Chapter 6, Dealing with I/O ZLOO LQWURGXFH \RX WR WKH ÀOH KDQGOLQJ IHDWXUHV RI :HE'ULYHU &RQFHSWV VXFK DV FRS\LQJ ÀOHV XSORDGLQJ ÀOHV DQG GHOHWLQJ ÀOHV ZLOO be discussed in this chapter.Chapter 7, Exploring RemoteWebDriver and WebDriverBackedSelenium, willdeal with two very important topics of WebDriver: RemoteWebDriver andWebDriverBackedSelenium. If you want to execute a WebDriver installed on adifferent machine from your machine, you can use the RemoteWebDriver classto handle all your commands for that remote machine. One of its popular use casesis browser compatibility testing. The other class we talk about in this chapter isWebDriverBackedSelenium. This is useful for people who want to use WebDriver,but still have many of their existing tests using Selenium 1. Finally, we will migratesome code using Selenium1 APIs to use WebDriver APIs.Chapter 8, Understanding Selenium Grid, will talk about one important and interestingfeature of Selenium named Selenium Grid. Using this, you can submit yourdeveloped automation scenarios to a server and specify there the target platform,that is, the OS, browser type, and version, upon which you want these scenariosWR EH H[HFXWHG ,I D QRGH ZLWK VXFK D FRQÀJXUDWLRQ LV UHJLVWHUHG DQG DYDLODEOH WKH server will dispatch your job to that node, and it will take care of executing yourautomation scenarios in its environment and publish the results back to the server.Chapter 9, Understanding PageObject Pattern, will talk about a well-known designpattern named the PageObject pattern. This is a proven pattern that will give youa better handle on your automation framework and scenarios.Chapter 10, Testing iOS and Android Apps, we will take you through how WebDrivercan be used to automate your test scripts for iOS and Android applications. We willalso discuss a recently developed software tool called Appium.By the end of this book, we are sure you will be one of the world's advancedWebDriver users.[ ]
