How does WebDriver locate and interact with a specific element on a web page?

In the context of selenium, here are the steps given:-

Locating the element

You can use the various locators such as ID, name, class name, CSS selector, Xpath, etc to identify the element uniquely on the web-based page.

Interacting with the elements

Once the element is located then you can act such as clicking, typing text, selecting options, etc by using the WebDriver methods.

Verifying the element properties

You can also verify the various properties of the element like text, attribute, visibility so on by using the technique or the method called WebDriver.

By following these steps you can easily Interact with the specific element on a web-based page by using the WebDriver.

Here is a coding structure given which would demonstrate how you can locate band also interact with a specific element on a web-based page by using the WebDriver:-

Import org.openqa.selenium.By;

Import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

Import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

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

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

Import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

Public class MultiStepFormTest {

    Public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Set up the WebDriver

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        // Navigate to the web application

        Driver.get(http://example.com/multi-step-form);

        // Create a WebDriverWait instance with a timeout

        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

        // Step 1: Fill out the first part of the form

        WebElement firstNameField = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id(“first_name”)));

        firstNameField.sendKeys(“John”);

        WebElement lastNameField = driver.findElement(By.id(“last_name”));

        lastNameField.sendKeys(“Doe”);

        WebElement nextButtonStep1 = driver.findElement(By.id(“next_step_1”));

        nextButtonStep1.click();

        // Verify step 1 is completed and step 2 is loaded

        WebElement step2Header = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id(“step_2_header”)));

        If (step2Header.isDisplayed()) {

            System.out.println(“Step 1 completed successfully and Step 2 is displayed.”);

        }

        // Step 2: Fill out the second part of the form

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

        emailField.sendKeys(john.doe@example.com);

        WebElement phoneField = driver.findElement(By.id(“phone”));

        phoneField.sendKeys(“1234567890”);

        WebElement nextButtonStep2 = driver.findElement(By.id(“next_step_2”));

        nextButtonStep2.click();

        // Verify step 2 is completed and step 3 is loaded

        WebElement step3Header = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id(“step_3_header”)));

        If (step3Header.isDisplayed()) {

            System.out.println(“Step 2 completed successfully and Step 3 is displayed.”);

        }

        // Step 3: Fill out the third part of the form

        WebElement addressField = driver.findElement(By.id(“address”));

        addressField.sendKeys(“123 Main St”);

        WebElement cityField = driver.findElement(By.id(“city”));

        cityField.sendKeys(“Anytown”);

        WebElement submitButton = driver.findElement(By.id(“submit_form”));

        submitButton.click();

        // Verify form submission

        WebElement confirmationMessage = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id(“confirmation_message”)));

        If (confirmationMessage.isDisplayed()) {

            System.out.println(“Form submitted successfully: “ + confirmationMessage.getText());

        }

        // Close the browser

        Driver.quit();

    }

}
