🤖 Test Automation

1. 🎯 Learning Objectives

• Explain Selenium WebDriver architecture
• Describe CI/CD pipeline integration for tests
• Trace the bug lifecycle: New → Assigned → Fixed → Verified → Closed

2. 📖 Core Content

3.1 Selenium WebDriver

• Find elements: By ID, class, XPath, CSS selector
• Interact: Click, type, select
• Assert: Verify expected behavior

3.2 Page Object Model

java
public class LoginPage {
    private WebDriver driver;
    private By usernameField = By.id("username");
    private By passwordField = By.id("password");
    private By loginButton = By.id("login");
    public void login(String user, String pass) {
        driver.findElement(usernameField).sendKeys(user);
        driver.findElement(passwordField).sendKeys(pass);
        driver.findElement(loginButton).click();
    }
}

3.3 CI/CD Integration

1. Build
2. Unit tests
3. Integration tests
4. UI tests (Selenium)
5. Deploy

Q1: What is the purpose of the Page Object Model in Selenium?

Answer: POM encapsulates page elements and actions into reusable classes. Benefits: reduces code duplication, improves maintainability (one place to update when UI changes), and makes tests more readable. Join Discord PreviousTDD & Mutation TestingNextIntegration & Regression
