Introduction to the course and an answer to "Why C#?"4:22
Learn Selenium WebDriver basics in C#, practice element selectors on a dedicated site, and explore inputs, check boxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, and alerts for clean tests.
Installing Visual Studio3:16
Install Visual Studio Community edition for the course, select Universal Windows Platform and .NET desktop development, and learn to launch, sign in, and customize the theme.
Getting Started - Setup your environment6:03
Learn to set up a Selenium WebDriver project in C#, install NuGet packages and ChromeDriver, initialize the driver, navigate to a test site, and close the session.

Name7:14
Learn how to initialize a Chrome WebDriver in C#, navigate to a page, locate elements by name using By.Name, verify visibility, and print color-coded console messages.
ID4:37
Use the id selector to locate elements with Selenium WebDriver in C#, extracting url and element id into variables for clarity, then find the element by id and verify visibility.
Class Name2:49
Use the class name selector to locate a paragraph, extract its inner text with the text method, and print it to the console to verify page text and button labels.
CSS and X Paths6:10
Explore CSS path and XPath selectors in Selenium, learn to copy selectors, and note that CSS paths are faster and better supported by browsers than XPath, especially in Internet Explorer.
NoSuchElement Exception4:17
Identify the no such element exception when elements fail to load, then implement a try-catch block to gracefully handle missing elements using a css path check.
How do you handle NoSuchElement Exception?
How to chose the right selector?3:13
Learn to choose the right Selenium selectors by prioritizing ID and name, then class name, CSS path, and XPath, and collaborate with frontend developers to improve maintainability.
Which selector you should use and why?

Text Input Field6:59
Learn how to interact with a text input field in Selenium WebDriver with C#. Locate by name 'username', send keys, clear, and retrieve value with get attribute, verify max length.
Check Box6:57
Learn to locate and interact with check boxes in selenium webdriver with c#, using css selectors, checking state with getattribute, and clicking to reveal values like bike and car.
Radio Button5:51
Explore radio buttons in Selenium WebDriver with C#, handle multiple options using css selectors, get attribute 'checked', and iterate with a for loop to verify which button is selected.
Drop Down Menu10:44
Master drop-down menu testing with selenium webdriver in c#. Retrieve current value, enumerate options via css selectors, and select items to verify test scenarios.
Alert Box5:26
Learn to handle alert boxes in Selenium WebDriver with C#: retrieve alert text, accept alerts, and verify results by locating elements after dismissal, using try-catch for not found exceptions.

Description

Selenium is a free automation testing tool for web applications. It is able to work with different browsers like Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera and simulate human like behavior. Selenium is able to interact with all the different elements in a webpage. It can click on them, input text, extract text and much more. By covering all the different functionalities on your website with Selenium tests, you will be able to quickly catch new and reappearing old bugs. This will save your team time and money.

Specially for you, I have prepared a website where you can play around and practice your skills.

The website has special elements designed specificly for the course and for you to be able to easily work with them and learn.

In this course we will focus on Graphic User Interface and Functionality Testing and we will learn how to work with the various selectors that Selenium offers us to use like:

Name selector
ID Selector
Class Name selector
CSS Path selector
X Path selector

After that we will learn how to work with some special elements like:

Input text boxes
Check boxes
Radio buttons
Drop down menus
JavaScript Alert boxes

We will also have a few theory lectures in which I will explain when you should use either of these selectors, how to inspect elements and what is an Automation Testing Framework and why do we need to learn how to create one.

Who this course is for:

Manual Testers
QA Interns
QA Professionals with no Selenium experience
Freelancers that want to make bugfree websites
