Identify Web Elements using Selenium Xpath Locator

selenium xpath locator

As we all know, Web elements are present diversely (Dropdown, Check Box, Text Box, Radio Button, etc.) in a Web page. And locators are our saviours, right from helping us identify a Web element uniquely within the page to enunciate its HTML properties and informing Selenium about the action to be performed. For example, the Dropdown mandatory field “Highest Qualification” is not with Select Class in the Web page. It is difficult to find the Web element for that field.


To resolve this, one may use Xpath Locator and find the element for the “Highest Qualification” field. Also they should try to select the Dropdown field value “Masters” making use of the Action Class. You can find the script but in that, using the Action Class to find the element for the mandatory “Highest Qualification” field will not be fruitful. You may have to apply the Contains text method to find out the element for the Xpath. Identifying Web elements is always a sensitive area and mandates a precise attitude. Therefore, we would suggest the more effective your locator, more secure will be your test automation script.

Implementing md-autocomplete with AngularJs

AngularJS  is a JavaScript-based open-source front-end web application framework that is incredibly popular among developers as it provides  an excellent  toolset  to build an application most dynamically with rich interactive features and functionalities  for a real-time experience. Mostly used in  Single Page Application (SPA) projects,  AngularJS models are JavaScript objects which makes it easy to code, test, maintain reuse, and most importantly free. When it comes in one of its input   component called “md-autocomplete” these are the points to consider while implementing it during development.   It displays a dropdown of all possible matching content to user’s query. User will be able to pick required content from the drop-down that would have all the potential matches based on the search characters entered by him/her. md-autocomplete is different from browser’s autofill feature. It allows user to key-in any value bu...

Manual Testing Vs Automated Testing

Software testing is done to ensure a defect free application while meeting all the requirements in terms of quality, functionalities and performance as laid in the SLA. However, as the testing parameters get complex software testing gets tougher and challenging. Accurately deciding the testing option, whether Manual or Automated, is easier said than done. Let’s see what they offer. In manual testing, test cases are executed manually without any support from tools or scripts. It is a process in which the software’s features and functionalities are tried like an end user to find whether it meet the goals. On the other hand, Automated testing is executed with the help of software tools, scripts and is performed by repeating pre-defined actions. It is more reliable with high degree of accuracy compared to manual testing.  You can execute test cases significantly faster as multiple tests can be run in parallel, made possible by distributing test cases across di...
