Selenium WebDriver with Java - Basics to Advanced and Frameworks - Handling AutoSuggestive Drop-downs Using Selenium

The video tutorial explains how to handle auto suggestive dropdowns using Selenium. It covers setting up a Selenium script, creating CSS selectors to identify dropdown options, and iterating through these options to select the desired one. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using generic locators and efficient iteration techniques to handle dynamic dropdowns effectively.

What is the main difference between static and auto suggestive dropdowns?

• Static dropdowns are always visible, while auto suggestive dropdowns are hidden.

• Static dropdowns have fixed options, while auto suggestive dropdowns generate options based on user input.

• Static dropdowns require JavaScript, while auto suggestive dropdowns do not.

• Static dropdowns are used for forms, while auto suggestive dropdowns are used for navigation.

What is the first step in setting up a Selenium script for handling dropdowns?

• Writing a CSS selector for the dropdown options.

• Setting the chromedriver path and initializing the driver object.

• Implementing a loop to iterate over dropdown options.

• Using an explicit wait to handle delays.

Why is it important to handle delays in dropdown suggestions?

• To prevent the script from crashing.

• To ensure the script runs faster.

• To avoid using too much memory.

• To make sure all options are loaded before interacting with them.

Which method is used to enter input into an edit box in Selenium?

• getText()

• findElement()

• click()

What is the purpose of using a CSS selector in handling dropdowns?

• To style the dropdown options.

• Continue iterating through the rest of the options.

• Log the option and move to the next one.

• Restart the loop from the beginning.

Why is it beneficial to use a break statement in a loop when handling dropdowns?

• To increase the speed of the script.

• To reduce the number of iterations once the desired option is found.

• To prevent errors in the script.

• To ensure all options are clicked.

What is the main goal when dealing with auto suggestive dropdowns?
