Selenium WebDriver Advanced - Industry Standard Framework - What Is a framework

The video discusses the importance of using a Selenium Webdriver framework, emphasizing the need for a common standard to ensure easy maintenance, data-driven testing, and meaningful reporting. It highlights the significance of coding standards, encapsulation of UI interactions, and maximizing code reusability through the DRY principle. The video concludes with a preview of upcoming lectures on specific frameworks.

What is the primary purpose of a framework in software development?

• To make coding more difficult

• To increase the number of bugs

• To define a common standard for the team

• To create complex code

Which of the following is a key benefit of using a framework?

• Inconsistent coding practices

• Easy maintenance and readability

• Complex code structure

• Increased manual testing

Why is meaningful reporting important in automation testing?

• To confuse the team

• To ensure test results are easy to understand

• To increase the number of tests

• To make reports more complex

What should be maintained across a framework to ensure consistency?

• Standard and consistent coding practices

• Random coding styles

• No coding standards

• Different coding conventions for each team member

What is the role of encapsulation in a framework?

• To expose test methods directly to the UI

• To increase direct interaction with the UI

• To hide complex code within libraries

• To make test methods complex

What does the DRY principle stand for?

• Do Repeat Yourself

• Don't Repeat Yourself

• Develop Repeated Yarns

• Duplicate Reusable Yields

Why is code reusability important in a framework?

• To make the framework harder to maintain

• To ensure changes reflect in all places with minimal effort

• To duplicate code across the framework

• To allow changes to be made in multiple places
