    1. first loop will iterate all the rows and
    2. second loop inside it will iterate the columns of each row


    publicclassDynamicTable{ WebDriver driver =new FirefoxDriver();@BeforeTestpublicvoidsetup()throws Exception { driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.get("https://www.techlistic.com/p/demo-selenium-practice.html");}@AfterTestpublicvoidtearDown()throws Exception { driver.quit();}@Testpublicvoidtest_Dynamic_Webtable(){// Locate table WebElement mytable = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='post']/div[1]/table/tbody"));// Locate rows of table and save locators of each row in a list List rows_table = mytable.findEl…

    Automation Framework Building 1st step - Implementing Code Re-usablility

    Image
    In this post, you will learn kind of coding pattern which is very helpful in maintaining our automation code. This post is written insight to help beginners. We'll learn that instead of writing a linear script, we should create page (action) methods which in general contain actions which we are going to perform on our web software. 

    Let's say, we have a login functionality in our software and we have to automate it. In that case we'll create a method named login and write the commands like, entering username, password and click login in that method. Now we can use that method wherever we need it in other test cases as well. Benefits of using action methods are:

    Code Re-usabilityBetter maintainability of codeSharing below a sample script, in which I'm entering data in a web form using action methods:





    You can also place these action methods in some other class like Common.java. And if you want to re-use any of the methods in your Selenium script, just create the object Comm…
