Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Identifying Xpath and CSS

The video tutorial covers the use of Xpath and locators in web development. It explains how to generate Xpath based on text elements and validate them. The tutorial also discusses best practices for using Xpath, including the limitations of relying on dynamic text. Additionally, it introduces the concept of traversing elements using Xpath and CSS, providing examples of how to navigate from parent to child elements.

What is the primary advantage of generating XPath based on text?

• It is faster than other methods.

• It allows locating elements without relying on attributes.

• It is compatible with all browsers.

• It is easier to write than CSS selectors.

Which of the following is a valid use case for text-based XPath?

• When the element is hidden.

• When the element has a unique ID.

• When the text is static and unlikely to change.

• When the text is dynamic and changes frequently.

Why should you be cautious when using text-based XPath?

• It is not supported in all browsers.

• Text can be dynamic and subject to change.

• It is not compatible with CSS.

• It requires more processing power.

What is the key difference between XPath and CSS when traversing from parent to child?

• Both use a space.

• XPath uses a space, CSS uses a slash.

• XPath uses a slash, CSS uses a space.

• Both use a slash.

How can you identify a parent element in the DOM?

• By confirming it closes when the child is closed.

• By looking for a unique class name.

• By checking if it has child elements.

• By ensuring it has no siblings.

What should you do if no attributes are unique for an element?

• Use the element's text.

• Rely on the parent element's unique attribute.

• Ignore the element.

• Use a random attribute.

In CSS, how do you traverse from a parent to a child element?

• Using a slash.

• Using a period.

• Using a space.

• Using a comma.

What is a potential issue when using indexes in XPath?

• Indexes are not supported in all browsers.

• Indexes can change if the DOM structure changes.

• Indexes are not compatible with CSS.

• Indexes are slower to process.

How can you handle multiple child elements with the same tag in XPath?

• Use a wildcard.

• Use the first child only.

• Specify the index of the desired child.

• Ignore the other children.

What is the recommended approach when dealing with multiple divs in XPath?

• Use the nth-child selector.

• Use a unique class name.

• Use a wildcard to select all divs.

• Use an index to specify the desired div.
