How to switch between frames

70. How to switch between frames?

WebDriver's driver.switchTo().frame() method takes one of the three possible arguments:

·         A number.

Select a frame by its (zero-based) index. That is, if a page has three frames, the first frame would be at index "0", the second at index "1" and the third at index "2". Once the frame has been selected, all subsequent calls on the WebDriver interface are made to that frame.

·         A name or ID.

Select a frame by its name or ID. Frames located by matching name attributes are always given precedence over those matched by ID.

·         A previously found WebElement.

Select a frame using its previously located WebElement.

Get the frame by it's id/name or locate it by driver.findElement() and you'll be good.

What are the different assertions in SIDE

What are the different assertions in SIDE?

Assertions are like Accessors, but they verify that the state of the application conforms to what is expected. Examples include "make sure the page title is X" and "verify that this checkbox is checked".

All Selenium Assertions can be used in 3 modes: "assert", "verify", and "waitFor".

 For example, you can "assertText", "verifyText" and "waitForText". When an "assert" fails, the test is aborted. When a "verify" fails, the test will continue execution, logging the failure. This allows a single "assert" to ensure that the application is on the correct page, followed by a bunch of "verify" assertions to test form field values, labels, etc.

"waitFor" commands wait for some condition to become true (which can be useful for testing Ajax applications). They will succeed immediately if the condition is already true. However, they will fail and halt the test if the condition does not become true within the current timeout setting (see the setTimeout action below).

How to highlight an object with selenium and java

How to highlight an object like qtp/uft does through selenium and java?

public void highlightElement(WebDriver driver, WebElement element) {

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)

{

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

js.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('style', arguments[1]);", element, "color: yellow; border: 2px solid yellow;");

js.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('style', arguments[1]);", element, "");

}}

Call the highlightElement method and pass webdriver and WebElement which you want to highlight as arguments.

TestNG vs. Junit

TestNG Vs.Junit?

Advantages of TestNG over Junit

·         In Junit we have to declare @BeforeClass and @AfterClass which is a constraint where as in TestNG there is no constraint like this.

·         Additional Levels of setUp/tearDown level are available in TestNG like @Before/AfterSuite,@Before/AfterTest and @Before/AfterGroup

·         No Need to extend any class in TestNG.

·         There is no method name constraint in TestNG as in Junit. You can give any name to the test methods in TestNG

·         In TestNG we can tell the test that one method is dependent on another method where as in Junit this is not possible. In Junit each test is independent of another test.

·         Grouping of testcases is available in TestNG where as the same is not available in Junit.

·         Execution can be done based on Groups. For ex. If you have defined many cases and segregated them by defining 2 groups as Sanity and Regression. Then if you only want to execute the “Sanity” cases then just tell TestNG to execute the “Sanity” and TestNG will automatically execute the cases belonging to the “Sanity” group.

·         Also using TestNG your selenium test case execution can be done in parallel.

How to work with radio button in web driver

How to work with radio button in web driver?

 We can select the value from the drop down by using 3 methods.

selectByVisibleText - select by the text displayed in drop down

selectByIndex  - select by index of option in drop down

selectByValue  - select by value of option in drop down

<select id="44"> <option value="1">xyz</option>

 <option value="2">abc</option>

 <option value="3">pqr</option>

</select>

WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.id("44"));

Select selectElement=new Select(e);

// both of the below statements will select first option in the weblist

selectElement.selectByVisibleText("xyz"); 

selectElement.selectByValue("1");

Differences between QTP and selenium

Diff between QTP and selenium.

1) Selenium generates a proxy while starting browser. QTP does not

2) QTP uses only Vb script. Selenium is available in many languages

3) QTP is paid and selenium is free.

4) You can run script from a particular line in QTP but in selenium, you cannot.

5) Selenium works on all browsers. QTP only works on IE, mozilla. Support from chrome has been introduced lately.

6) QTP is more organized and user friendly

7) Selenium requires more technical skills

8) QTP can also be used on desktop based applications but selenium cannot be used

How to pass parameters from testng.xml into test case

How to pass parameters from testng.xml into
 test case.

package programs;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class Parallelexecution {

private WebDriver driver = null;

@BeforeTest
@Parameters({ "BROWSER" })
public void setup(String BROWSER) {
System.out.println("Browser: " + BROWSER);

if (BROWSER.equals("FF")) {
System.out.println("Firefox Browser is selected");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
} else if (BROWSER.equals("IE")) {
System.out.println("Internet Explorer Browser is selected");
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
} else if (BROWSER.equals("HU")) {
System.out.println("Html Unit Browser is selected");
driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
} else if (BROWSER.equals("CH")) {
System.out.println("Google chrome Browser is selected");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
}

@Test
public void testParallel() throws Exception {
driver.get("http://ruchi-myseleniumblog.blogspot.in/2013/12/100-selenium-interview-questions.html");

}
}

above sample program BROWSER is a variable which value would be passed from TestNG.xml and TestNG.xml and it will run the test multiple time each time BROWSER value would be set with different browser name and test will check the BROWSER value and decide which browser test will run.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><suite name="WebDriver-TestngParrlelExecution" parallel="tests">  <test name="Working Witn FF" preserve-order="true">  <parameter name="BROWSER" value="FF" />  <classes>   <class name="programs.Parallelexecution" />  </classes> </test>  <test name="Working with IE" preserve-order="ture">  <parameter name="BROWSER" value="IE"></parameter>  <classes>   <class name="programs.Parallelexecution"></class>  </classes> </test>  <test name="Working with HTML unit" preserve-order="true">  <parameter name="BROWSER" value="HU"></parameter>  <classes>   <class name="programs.Parallelexecution"></class>  </classes> </test>   <test name="Working with Chrome Browser" preserve-order="true">  <parameter name="BROWSER" value="CH"></parameter>  <classes>   <class name="programs.Parallelexecution"></class>  </classes> </test></suite>
