Web applications are difficult to test because so much depends on the

way a user interacts with individual pages. The Selenium WebDriver

web testing framework helps developers build reliable and

maintainable test automation for their web applications across multiple

browsers, operating systems and programming languages. Much like a

human, it can click on links, fill out forms, and read web pages. Unlike

a human, it never gets bored. WebDriver can do nearly anything it’s

asked to do—the trick is to come up with a unified approach to testing.

Fortunately, that’s where this book really shines.

Selenium WebDriver in Practice is a hands-on guide to dozens of

specific techniques developers can use to get the most out of

WebDriver in test automation development. Following a cookbookstyle

Problem/Solution/Discussion format, this practical handbook

gives readers instantly-useful solutions for important areas like

interacting with and testing web applications and using the WebDriver

APIs. Readers graduate from WebDriver fundamentals to must-have

practices ranging from how to interact with, control and verify web

pages and exception handling, to more complex interactions like page

objects, alerts, and JavaScript, as well as integrating with Continuous

Integration tools, mobile testing, and much more. By the end of the

book, readers will be confident and skilled at testing their web

applications with WebDriver.
