Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Example-GreenKart Application Part I

The video tutorial covers functional testing on web pages, focusing on validating if selected products on one page appear on another. It explains how to grab and compare lists of items using locators and Xpath, optimizing code by avoiding multiple loops. The tutorial demonstrates navigating HTML hierarchy with Xpath, providing practical examples to enhance understanding. The goal is to teach efficient testing strategies and code optimization techniques.

What is the main objective of the test case discussed in the video?

• To verify the loading speed of the web page

• To ensure products selected on one page appear on the next page

• To test the responsiveness of the web page

• To check the color scheme of the web page

How can you ensure that the products selected on the first page are the same as those on the second page?

• By comparing lists of product names from both pages

• By checking the page titles

• By counting the number of products

• By verifying the page URLs

Which method is suggested for retrieving vegetable names from the web page?

• Using a database query

• Manually copying the names

• Taking screenshots of the page

• Using a common CSS locator

What is the role of the 'find elements' method in the context of the video?

• To retrieve multiple web elements based on a locator

• To find the URL of the web page

• To change the style of web elements

• To delete web elements from the DOM

What is the benefit of using XPath in the context of the video?

• It is easier to write than CSS selectors

• It automatically updates the DOM

• It is faster than CSS selectors

• It allows for traversing both up and down the DOM hierarchy

What is a key advantage of using XPath over CSS for element selection?

• XPath can navigate both upwards and downwards in the DOM

• XPath is more readable than CSS

• XPath is supported by all browsers

• XPath is faster than CSS

Why is CSS not suitable for traversing up the DOM hierarchy?

• CSS is too slow for this operation

• CSS can only be used for styling

• CSS does not have provisions for navigating upwards

• CSS requires additional plugins for this feature

What is a common interview question related to XPath and CSS?

• Can you traverse back to your parent using CSS?

• How do you style elements using XPath?

• How do you optimize CSS selectors?

• What is the difference between XPath and SQL?

What is the purpose of optimizing the code as discussed in the video?

• To reduce the number of variables used

• To make the code more complex

• To increase the number of lines of code

• To avoid writing multiple loops

What is the final goal of the code optimization discussed in the video?

• To reduce the file size of the code

• To make the code compatible with older browsers

• To increase the number of functions in the code

• To efficiently retrieve product names and prepare for list comparison
