Selenium WebDriver with Java - Basics to Advanced and Frameworks - Practice Exercises on Tables - 1

The video tutorial covers the use of Selenium for web automation, focusing on identifying elements using CSS and XPath. It explains how to traverse elements using sibling and parent-child relationships, providing practical examples. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of executing tests and a preview of the next steps.

What is the main challenge discussed in the introduction regarding Selenium's ability to pick values?

• Selenium struggles with different CSS styles in rows.

• Selenium only works with Firefox.

• Selenium picks values from all rows without distinction.

• Selenium cannot identify any elements.

How can you uniquely identify a child element when all rows share the same parent?

• By using the element's color.

• By using the element's position in the DOM.

• By using a unique CSS class.

• By using the element's text content.

What XPath concept allows you to move from one sibling to another?

• preceding-sibling

• following-sibling

• ancestor

• descendant

Which XPath syntax is used to identify an element based on its text?

• //tagname[starts-with(text(),'value')]

• //tagname[contains(text(),'value')]

• //tagname[text()='value']

• //tagname[@text='value']

What is the purpose of using 'following-sibling' in XPath?

• To navigate to the next sibling element.

• To identify an element by its ID.

• To locate a child element.

• To find a parent element.

What is the expected outcome when running the test after applying the discussed XPath techniques?

• The test will fail to print any values.

• The test will print only the first column.

• The test will print all values including extras.

• The test will print values in reverse order.

Why is understanding parent-to-child and sibling-to-sibling traversal important in Selenium?

• It simplifies the code significantly.

• It allows for more efficient browser automation.

• It reduces the need for manual testing.

• It helps in handling complex element structures.
