Selenium WebDriver Architecture Simplified

The video tutorial explains the Webdriver architecture in a simplified manner, focusing on the interaction between Selenium code and browser drivers. It covers writing Selenium code in different languages, the conversion of code to JSON, and the role of browser drivers in executing commands. The tutorial also provides guidance on downloading and configuring browser drivers, preparing viewers for the next steps in Selenium installation and testing.

What is the first step after writing Selenium code in an editor?

• The code is converted to JSON format.

• The code is executed directly on the browser.

• The code is compiled into a binary file.

• The code is sent to the server as plain text.

What role does the browser driver play in the WebDriver architecture?

• It compiles the code into machine language.

• It acts as a server that receives JSON formatted code.

• It directly executes the code on the browser.

• It stores the test results.

Which of the following is true about browser drivers?

• They are not necessary for running Selenium tests.

• They are only used for mobile browsers.

• They are the same for all browsers.

• Each browser has its own specific driver.

How does the browser driver execute actions on the browser?

• By directly modifying the browser's source code.

• By interpreting the JSON code and executing commands.

• By sending commands to the operating system.

• By using a third-party application.

What happens if the path to the browser driver is not specified in the Selenium script?

• The script will run without any issues.

• The JSON will be sent to a default location.

• The script will fail as it cannot locate the driver.

• The browser will automatically find the driver.

Why is it important to download the correct browser driver?

• To increase the speed of test execution.

• To avoid using any server in the architecture.

• To ensure compatibility with the browser being tested.

• To reduce the size of the Selenium script.

What is the main function of the browser driver in the Selenium WebDriver architecture?

• To compile the Selenium code.

• To act as a middleman between the client and the browser.

• To store test data.

• To provide a user interface for writing tests.
