💡 Examples

Core Selenium Techniques

• Locating Elements: Practice using ID, name, class, CSS Selector, and XPath.
• Interaction Methods: Perform clicks, typing, selections, and submissions.

User Interaction

• Action Class Examples: Hovering, drag-and-drop, and composite actions.
• Keyboard/Mouse Control: Using Robot class for OS-level control.

Wait Strategies

• Explicit Waits: Synchronize your tests with slow-loading elements.
• Implicit Waits: Set global wait defaults for driver operations.

Multi-Context Handling

• iFrames: Switch to frames and interact with inner elements.
• Window/Tab Management: Handle multiple browser tabs or pop-ups.

Extra Scenarios

• File Upload: Handle file dialogs using both Selenium and Robot.
• Scrolling Techniques: Scroll into view or to the bottom of the page.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues:

• Make sure all .jar dependencies are correctly added in your IDE.
• Check that your browser drivers (e.g., ChromeDriver) are up-to-date.
• Ensure that your Project SDK is set correctly in IntelliJ.
• Review test logs and console output to identify failures.
• Still stuck? Open an issue on GitHub and describe your problem in detail.
