Iterating Over All Links in the Page to Validate Broken Links Mechanism

The video tutorial covers the use of CSS selectors in Selenium tests to access and iterate over web links. It explains how to write CSS selectors for link elements, iterate through them using an enhanced for loop, and handle test failures by logging broken links. The tutorial also discusses the importance of improving test design to ensure all links are validated, introducing the concept of soft assertions to prevent premature test termination.

What is the primary goal of writing CSS in the context of Selenium testing?

• To hide certain elements

• To change the color of links

• To access and iterate through all links

• To style the webpage

Which CSS selector is used to target links that are immediate children of a specific class?

• GF-Li

• Li

• GTFO

• A

What is the purpose of using an enhanced for loop in Selenium testing?

• To increase the speed of the test

• To reduce the number of lines of code

• To handle exceptions more effectively

• To simplify the iteration over web elements

What does the method getAttribute('href') return in Selenium?

• The text of the link

• The URL of the link

• The CSS class of the link

• The ID of the link

What is the main advantage of using a list to store web elements in Selenium?

• It allows for faster execution

• It enhances security

• It simplifies the iteration process

• It reduces memory usage

How can you determine which link failed during a Selenium test?

• By checking the console output

• By using getText() to log the link text

• By manually inspecting the webpage

• By using a debugger

What is the significance of a response code greater than 400 in a Selenium test?

• It indicates a secure link

• It indicates a redirected link

• It indicates a broken link

• It indicates a successful link

Why is it important to log the status code of a broken link?

• To improve the webpage design

• To reduce the number of links

• To identify the type of error

• To enhance the test speed

What is a potential flaw in the current test design discussed in the video?

• It runs too slowly

• It does not check for broken links

• It stops execution after the first failure

• It does not log any errors

What is the purpose of using soft assertions in Selenium testing?

• To reduce the number of test cases

• To increase the test speed

• To continue execution even after a failure

• To stop the test immediately upon failure
