Selenium WebDriver with Java - Basics to Advanced and Frameworks - 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 various languages, the conversion of code to JSON, and the role of browser drivers in executing commands. The tutorial also guides on downloading and configuring browser drivers, preparing for the next steps in Selenium installation.

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

• Converting the code to JSON format

• Running the code directly on the browser

• Sending the code to the server

• Downloading the browser driver

What is the role of a browser driver in Selenium WebDriver architecture?

• It directly executes the code on the browser

• It converts Selenium code into machine code

• It acts as a server to interpret and execute JSON commands

• It stores the test results

Which of the following is true about browser drivers?

• They are the same for all browsers

• Each browser has its own specific driver

• They are not necessary for running Selenium tests

• They are only used for Chrome and Firefox

How does the browser driver communicate with the browser?

• By converting JSON to XML

• By interpreting JSON and executing commands

• By directly executing the code

• By sending HTTP requests

What must be done before running a Selenium test on a specific browser?

• Install the browser on the server

• Download the corresponding browser driver and set its path

• Write the test in XML format

• Ensure the browser is open

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

• The test will run with default settings

• The test will execute but not return results

• The JSON will not know where to go, causing the script to fail

• The browser will open but not execute the test

Why is the browser driver considered a 'middleman' in the WebDriver architecture?

• It facilitates communication between the client code and the browser

• It converts JSON to HTML

• It stores the test results

• It manages browser updates
