How can I automate the testing of a web-based application by using Selenium WebDriver and Chromedriver?

In the context of selenium, here is the example given of how you can approach designing and implementing a robust automation script by using the selenium WebDriver with Chrome:-

Setting up Selenium WebDriver and Chrome driver

Firstly, you would need to download and Configure the Selenium WebDriver and Chromedriver.

Navigate to the form page

You can use the WebDriver to navigate to the web page where the complex form is located.

Identify the web-based element

You can use the method of WebDriver for identification and interaction with the input fields if input, drop-down button, etc. You can use various locators like ID, name, class, name, etc.

Input data and perform actions

You can use the WebDriver to input the data into the form fields. Then you can select the options from the drop-down and perform actions such as clicking buttons or links.

After completing all the steps you can handle the alert and popup by using the WebDriver’s method, then you can execute the script and generate reports, implement waits and timeout, and in the end you can implement the page object model designing.

Here is a detailed example given of how you can automate the testing of a complex form by using selenium WebDriver with Chrome in Java programming language:-

Import org.openqa.selenium.By;

Import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

Import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

Import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

Import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

Import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

Import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

Import org.junit.Assert;

Public class FormAutomationTest {

    Public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Set up ChromeDriver path

        System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”, “/path/to/chromedriver”);

        // Initialize ChromeDriver

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

        Try {

            // Navigate to the form page

            Driver.get(https://example.com/complex-form);

            // Identify form elements

            WebElement firstNameField = driver.findElement(By.id(“first_name”));

            WebElement emailField = driver.findElement(By.name(“email”));

            Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id(“dropdown”)));

            WebElement submitButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//button[@type=’submit’]”));

            // Input data into form fields

            firstNameField.sendKeys(“John”);

            emailField.sendKeys(john@example.com);

            dropdown.selectByVisibleText(“Option 1”);

            // Perform validation checks

            String expectedTitle = “Success Page”;

            Wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(submitButton));

            submitButton.click();

            String actualTitle = driver.getTitle();

            Assert.assertEquals(actualTitle, expectedTitle);

            // Handle alerts (if any)

            If (driver.switchTo().alert() != null) {

                Driver.switchTo().alert().accept();

            }

            // Output success message

            System.out.println(“Form automation test passed!”);

        } catch (Exception e) {

            System.err.println(“Form automation test failed: “ + e.getMessage());

        } finally {

            // Close the browser after tests are complete

            Driver.quit();

        }

    }

}

Here is the example given for python programming language:-

From selenium import webdriver

From selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

From selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

From selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

From selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Import unittest

Class FormAutomationTest(unittest.TestCase):

    Def setUp(self):

        # Set up ChromeDriver path

        Self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(‘/path/to/chromedriver’)

        Self.driver.maximize_window()

    Def test_form_automation(self):

        # Navigate to the form page

        Self.driver.get(https://example.com/complex-form)

        # Identify form elements

        First_name_field = self.driver.find_element(By.ID, “first_name”)

        Email_field = self.driver.find_element(By.NAME, “email”)

        Dropdown = Select(self.driver.find_element(By.ID, “dropdown”))

        Submit_button = self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, “//button[@type=’submit’]”)

        # Input data into form fields

        First_name_field.send_keys(“John”)

        Email_field.send_keys(john@example.com)

        Dropdown.select_by_visible_text(“Option 1”)

        # Perform validation checks

        Expected_title = “Success Page”

        Wait = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10)

        Wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, “//button[@type=’submit’]”)))

        Submit_button.click()

        Actual_title = self.driver.title

        Self.assertEqual(actual_title, expected_title)

        # Handle alerts (if any)

        Try:

            Alert = self.driver.switch_to.alert

            Alert.accept()

        Except:

            Pass

        # Output success message

        Print(“Form automation test passed!”)

    Def tearDown(self):

        # Close the browser after tests are complete

        Self.driver.quit()

If __name__ == “__main__”:

    Unittest.main()

Here is the example given by using SikuliX for basic UI automation:-

#include 

#include 

#include “sikulixapi.h”

Using namespace std;

Int main() {

    // Start SikuliX API

    Screen screen;

    // Open Chrome browser using SikuliX (example, actual implementation may vary)

    Screen.click(“path/to/chrome_icon.png”);

    // Wait for browser to open (example, actual implementation may vary)

    Sleep(2000);

    // Perform actions on the web page using SikuliX (example)

    Screen.type(https://example.com/complex-form);

    Screen.type(Key.ENTER);

    Screen.wait(“path/to/form_element.png”);

    Screen.click(“path/to/form_element.png”);

    Screen.type(“John”);

    Screen.type(Key.TAB);

    Screen.type(john@example.com);

    Screen.type(Key.TAB);

    Screen.type(“Option 1”);

    Screen.type(Key.TAB);

    Screen.type(Key.ENTER);

    // Wait for page to load (example)

    Sleep(5000);

    // Handle alerts or perform validation (example)

    Screen.exists(“path/to/success_page.png”);

    Cout << “Form automation test passed!” << endl>
