Yes, it is possible when you are not using JAVA testing framework. Instead of using Java testing framework if you are using java client driver of selenium then TestNG allows you to do this. By using “parallel=test†attribute you can set tests to be executed in parallel and can define two different tests, each using different browser.

Selenium IDE have limitations in terms of browser support and language support. By using Selenium RC limitation can be diminished.
>> On different platforms and different web browser for automating web application selenium RC is used with languages like Java, C#, Perl, Python
>> Selenium RC is a java based and using any language it can interact with the web application
>> Using server you can bypass the restriction and run your automation script running against any web application

We have seen that ‘Page Object Model’ is a way of representing an application in a test framework. For every ‘page’ in the application, we create a Page Object to reference the ‘page’ whereas a ‘Page Factory’ is one way of implementing the ‘Page Object Model’.

Handling AJAX calls is one of the common issues when using Selenium WebDriver. We wouldn’t know when the AJAX call would get completed and the page has been updated. In this post, we see how to handle AJAX calls using Selenium.
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX allows the web page to retrieve small amounts of data from the server without reloading the entire page. AJAX sends HTTP requests from the client to server and then process the server’s response without reloading the entire page. To handle AJAX controls, wait commands may not work. It’s just because the actual page is not going to refresh.

Simple answer for this is Selenium is not a tool for API Testing. It automates web browsers. Rest API & Web Services contains no UI. So we cannot automate using Selenium.

To iterate through options in test script you can loop features of the programming language, for example to type different test data in a text box you can use “for†loop in Java
// test data collection in an array
String[ ] testData = { “test1†, “test2†, “test3†} ;
// iterate through each test data
For (string s: test data) { selenium.type ( “elementLocatorâ€, testData) ; }

Single slash is used to create Xpath with an absolute path i.e. the XPath would be created to start selection from the start node.
/html/body/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/a
Double slash is used to create Xpath with relative path i.e. the XPath would be created to start selection from anywhere within the document
//div[class="qa-logo"]/a

Datadriven framework: In this framework, the test data is separated and kept outside the Test Scripts, while Test Case logic resides in Test Scripts. Test data is read from the external files ( Excel Files) and are loaded into the variables inside the Test Script. Variables are used for both for input values and for verification values.
Keyworddriven framework: The keyword driven frameworks requires the development of data tables and keywords, independent of the test automation. In a keyword driven test, the functionality of the application under test is documented in a table as well as step by step instructions for each test.

The user can use this feature to handle exceptions by clicking the pause icon on the top right corner of the IDE. When the script finds an exception it pauses at that particular statement and enters a debug mode. The entire test case does not fail and hence the user can rectify the error immediately.

findElement() is used to access any single element on the web page. It returns the object of the first matching element of the specified locator.
General syntax:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id(example));
findElements() is used to find all the elements in the current web page matching the specified locator value. All the matching elements would be fetched and stored in the list of Web elements.
General syntax:
List <WebElement> elementList = driver.findElements(By.id(example));

Before looking how to handle Stale Element Reference Exception through Page Object Model. Let’s see what is Stale Element Reference Exception first.
Stale means old, decayed, no longer fresh. Stale Element means an old element or no longer available element. Assume there is an element that is found on a web page referenced as a WebElement in WebDriver. If the DOM changes then the WebElement goes stale. If we try to interact with an element which is staled then the StaleElementReferenceException is thrown.

In Selenium WebDriver, there is no built-in features for verification points. It totally depends on our coding style. some of the Verification points are

>> To check for certain text
>> To check for certain element (text box, button, drop down, etc.)

We can detect whether the given links are broken or not by using the following process:
1. First, accumulate all the links present on a web page using the <a> anchor tag. For each <a> tag, use the attribute ‘href’ value to obtain the hyperlink
2. Send HTTP requests for each link and verify the HTTP response code
3. Based on the HTTP response code, determine if the link is valid or broken. Then, use the driver.get() method to navigate to a URL, which will respond with a status of 200 – OK (200 – OK indicates that the link is working). If we get any other status, then it indicates that the link is broken
4. Repeat the same process for all the links captured

The following are the navigation commands provided by Selenium:
navigate().back(): It takes the user back to the previous or the last-used web page, according to the history.
navigate().forward(): It takes the user to the next web page, according to the browser history.
navigate().refresh(): It allows the user to refresh the current web page by reloading all the web elements.
navigate().to(): It takes the user to a new web page in a new window, depending on the URL specified.
