selenium learning plan


🧪 1. Java Basics for Selenium

  • Variables, Data Types
  • Loops (for, while, do-while)
  • Conditional Statements (if, switch)
  • Arrays and Strings
  • Functions/Methods
  • Exception Handling (try-catch, throw, throws)
  • OOP Concepts (Class, Object, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction, Encapsulation)
  • Collections (List, Set, Map)

🌐 2. Selenium WebDriver

  • What is Selenium?
  • Architecture of Selenium WebDriver
  • Selenium Components (IDE, RC, WebDriver, Grid)
  • Installing WebDriver (ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver, etc.)
  • Launching browsers using WebDriver
  • Browser Commands: get(), getTitle(), getCurrentUrl(), close(), quit()
  • Navigation Commands: navigate().to(), navigate().back(), refresh()
  • WebElement Commands: click(), sendKeys(), clear(), getText(), getAttribute()
  • Finding Elements:
    • findElement, findElements
    • Locators: ID, Name, ClassName, TagName, LinkText, PartialLinkText, XPath, CSS Selector

🧭 3. XPath and CSS Selector

  • Absolute vs Relative XPath
  • text(), contains(), starts-with(), following, preceding, ancestor, child, descendant
  • CSS Selector: tag#id, tag.class, tag[attr=value]

🧰 4. Handling UI Elements

  • Drop-downs (<select> tag) with Select class
  • Checkboxes and Radio Buttons
  • Alerts: accept(), dismiss(), getText(), sendKeys()
  • Frames and iFrames: switchTo().frame(), defaultContent()
  • Windows Handling: getWindowHandle(), getWindowHandles(), switchTo().window()
  • Mouse and Keyboard Actions: Actions class (click, doubleClick, dragAndDrop, contextClick, moveToElement)
  • Keyboard simulation using Robot class

⌛ 5. Waits in Selenium

  • Implicit Wait
  • Explicit Wait (WebDriverWait with ExpectedConditions)
  • Fluent Wait

📄 6. TestNG Framework

  • Why TestNG?
  • Installing and setting up TestNG
  • @Test, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass
  • Assertions (HardAssert vs SoftAssert)
  • Priority and Dependencies
  • Groups, Parameterization
  • DataProvider
  • TestNG XML and parallel execution
  • Suite, test, classes, methods structure

📘 7. Page Object Model (POM)

  • Why POM?
  • Page Classes and Test Classes
  • Reusability and Maintainability
  • Using @FindBy and PageFactory.initElements()

🔁 8. Framework Design

  • Types: Keyword Driven, Data Driven, Hybrid
  • Creating Base Class, Utility Classes
  • Reading data from Excel using Apache POI
  • Logging with Log4j
  • Reporting with Extent Reports or Allure
  • Folder Structure

🧪 9. Automation Tools Integration

  • Maven: Project build tool (pom.xml, dependencies)
  • Git/GitHub: Version control
  • Jenkins: CI/CD for automation
  • Extent Reports/Allure: Test reporting

📤 10. Data Handling

  • Reading from Excel (Apache POI)
  • Reading from .properties files
  • JSON and XML parsing (if applicable)

📱 11. Mobile Automation (Optional - Appium)

  • What is Appium?
  • Android Studio and emulator setup
  • Writing test scripts for mobile apps
  • Real vs Emulator testing

🌐 12. Selenium Grid (Optional)

  • Grid Architecture
  • Hub and Node Configuration
  • Running tests in parallel on multiple browsers/devices
