Selenium V4.41-Java- Advanced Framework Course-AUG'26 Update

Create a Maven project and explore the Maven folder structure, including src/main/java, src/main/resources, and src/test/java, src/test/resources. Configure groupId and artifactId in the pom.xml to manage dependencies from repositories.

Write your first selenium test in java by configuring maven dependencies, setting up chrome driver in resources, and testing a Google search for selenium automation.

Discover how to centralize test configuration by building a constants class with a private constructor, private static final fields, and public getters, replacing hard-coded values in your Selenium framework.

Create a base test class to centralize WebDriver setup and teardown using a protected constructor, a shared ChromeDriver, and before/after hooks so all tests extend the base and reuse initialization.

Create a driver class to manage browser initialization outside tests, ensure a single driver instance with null checks, log in, and share the driver across tests.

Learn to implement a thread safety mechanism for Selenium tests using thread-local storage to manage a per-thread WebDriver via a driver manager, enabling safe parallel execution with multiple Chrome instances.

Learn how to create and read a Java property file in a selenium framework, with a ReadPropertyFile utility that loads config values and handles missing keys via clear exceptions.

Understand how a static block loads properties at class loading time and caches them in memory for fast access across tests.

Learn to implement the page object model (POM) in selenium with a login and dashboard page, using a pages package, locators, and methods to enter credentials and verify outcomes.

Learn to implement chaining in the page object model with Selenium v4.33 Java, returning page objects like login and home, and apply explicit waits to robustly handle element timing.

Create a base page to house common WebDriver actions like click and get text, then extend it by login and home pages to reduce boilerplate and improve reuse.

Centralize wait handling in the base page to wait for an element to be clickable or present using explicit waits and a shared time constant across login and home pages.

Use enums to define and apply strategies in the Selenium Java framework, replacing hard-coded values, enabling lowercase keys in config properties and reliable element waits.

This lecture demonstrates building an explicit wait factory in a Selenium Java framework to handle clickable, present, and visible waits, returning web elements and simplifying base pages.

Explore how to use a data provider in selenium v4.33 java to feed test data directly via annotation, including username and password pairs.

Learn to feed test data from excel in real time in a selenium v4.33 Java framework, using apache poi dependencies and data provider to drive tests with usernames and passwords.

Learn how to feed test data from Excel using hash maps for retrieval in a Selenium Java framework, converting to a single-dimension structure and fetching username and password with map.get.

Create a data provider utility to replace hard-coded test data, moving it under data private APIs and wiring it into tests for data-driven execution, with finally block to close resources.

Learn to integrate extent reports in a Java Selenium framework using Spark reporter, configure dependencies, and generate detailed test logs from login flows to test steps.

Create and link an extent manager to generate and manage reports, ensure logs are correctly assigned to each node, and adapt tests to work with the extended reporting setup.

This lecture demonstrates building an extent logger in a Selenium Java framework, with a final class, a private constructor, and three public static methods for pass, fail, and skip.

Learn to implement a listeners class in Selenium v4.33 Java to automate reporting and logging, using ITestListener methods and Extent Reports for dynamic test names and pass/fail logs.

Learn how to override extent reports using config properties to control naming, choosing between indexed names or current date with an index in selenium v4.33 java.

Learn to attach screenshots to Extent Reports in Selenium with Java by capturing base64 images guided by configurable properties for pass, fail, and skip scenarios.

Learn how to attach failure screenshots to Extent reports by removing fake properties, updating extent logs, and creating a dedicated screenshot utility to capture and embed base64 images.
