2021 - Mastering Selectors/ Locators for Automation Testing! torrent

Description

Selectors/ locators is at the heart of automation testing. Learning how to identify them (without relying on tools) is a critical skill to becoming an automation tester.

Locators in Selenium, Cypress, WebdriverIO… can be referred to as one of the most critical components required to build effective and robust automaton tests, in turn making your tests become allot less Flaky. Its ideally the building block of all automation tests / scripts. It helps locate the GUI elements through which multiple user actions can be performed. These are one of the important parameters for scripting, and if they end up to be incorrect or brittle, they may lead to script failure. A good scripting base foundation requires elements to be located appropriately

Tools cannot be relied upon, as they do not often provide the most efficient selector/ locator available. Identifying selectors/ locators is also a common question asked in coding exercise during interviews.

This course teaches you:

How to identify selectors/ locators like a pro
Understand the difference between the different types of locators
The best approach to identify them
How to write your own custom locators
How to prepare for interview questions relating to selectors/ locators
How to gain confidence in writing selectors/ locators so you do not need to rely on tools
And more

By the end of this course you will be able to confidently identify and write your own custom locators without needing to rely on tools. This will provide you with the confidence and knowledge to write high quality Selenium test scripts.
