Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Extracting Text from a Web Page with Validation Asserti

The video tutorial explains how to handle class attributes in HTML using Selenium, focusing on selecting elements by class name. It covers generating CSS selectors and XPath using regular expressions, emphasizing the importance of understanding these techniques over relying on auto-generated solutions. The tutorial provides practical examples and highlights the significance of using clean and unique identifiers for web elements.

What should you consider when selecting a class name to grab text from a web element?

• The class name should be the longest one available.

• The class name should be unique and without spaces.

• The class name should be the first one listed.

• The class name should be the shortest one available.

When using class names to locate elements, what should you do if there are multiple classes?

• Use the first class name only.

• Use all class names together.

• Select one unique class name.

• Ignore the class names.

Which method is used to extract text from a web element?

• findElement()

• click()

• sendKeys()

• getText()

What is the purpose of using regular expressions in CSS selectors?

• To ensure the selector is always unique.

• To make the code more complex.

• To match exact class names only.

• To simplify the selection process by matching subtext.

What is the main advantage of using regular expressions in CSS selectors?

• They are more secure.

• They are easier to read.

• They allow for partial matches.

• They are faster to execute.

What should you do if you find two classes with the same name but different tag names?

• Ignore the tag names.

• Use the tag name to differentiate.

• Use both class names together.

• Select the first class name only.

Why should you avoid relying on auto-generated CSS and XPath from plugins?

• They are always incorrect.

• They make the code look unprofessional.

• They are too simple to use.

• They are not supported by all browsers.

What is a potential issue with using auto-generated selectors?

• They may not be reliable.

• They are always incorrect.

• They are too complex.

• They are too short.

What function is used in XPath to select elements based on partial attribute values?

• equals()

• starts-with()

• contains()

• matches()

In XPath, what does the 'contains' function do?

• Matches elements with partial attribute values.

• Matches elements with multiple attribute values.

• Matches elements with no attribute values.

• Matches elements with exact attribute values.
