✨ Features

• Coverage of basic to advanced Selenium techniques.
• Special modules on iframes, scrolling actions, robot classes, and alert handling.
• Examples of explicit waits and Selenium WebDriver utilities.

📦 Dependencies

• Java JDK 11 or newer
• Selenium WebDriver
• JUnit (comes with Java, no additional installation needed)
• Commons IO
• SLF4J NOP

🔧 Configuration

Ensure all dependencies are correctly configured in your IDE and build tools. Use Maven or Gradle to handle library dependencies efficiently.

📚 Documentation

Documentation is provided within each test script and module to explain the test setup and the specific Selenium interactions being demonstrated.

💡 Examples

The project includes a variety of test scenarios to demonstrate the capabilities of Selenium WebDriver. Each example is designed to showcase different techniques and Selenium functionalities. Here are some highlighted examples:

Locators and Element Interaction

• Basic Locators: Learn how to use ID, class, and name locators to interact with web elements.
• CSS Selector: Advanced usage of CSS selectors for elements that are hard to capture.

Advanced User Interactions

• Action Class: Utilize the Action class for complex gestures like drag-and-drop and mouse movements.
• Robot Class: Demonstrates how to use the Java Robot class for keyboard and mouse interaction beyond the capabilities of Selenium.

Synchronization Techniques

• Explicit Waits: Implement explicit waits to handle elements that take time to load.
• Fluent Wait: Use fluent waits to handle AJAX components more efficiently.

Frame Handling

• Iframe Handling: Navigate between iframes and interact with elements within iframes.
• Window Handling: Techniques to manage multiple windows and switch between them.

Automation Tasks

• File Upload: Automate file upload processes using the Robot class to handle native OS dialogues.
• Scrolling: Execute scripts to scroll through pages and interact with off-screen elements.

These examples provide a practical approach to mastering Selenium for robust UI testing. Each module within the project is accompanied by detailed comments and documentation to help you understand and apply the techniques effectively.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

• Ensure that Selenium WebDriver is properly installed and operational. Check that extensions and drivers (such as ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver) are up to date.
• Make sure your Java environment is correctly set up for Selenium and other dependencies.
• Ensure that your IntelliJ IDEA and other development tools are configured according to the project's requirements.
• If you are experiencing issues with dependencies, check your Maven configurations and ensure that the necessary libraries are properly included in your project.
• If problems persist, open an issue on the GitHub repository. Try to describe your problem in as much detail as possible so that you can receive help more quickly.

If you encounter any issues, please open an issue on the GitHub repository.
