About this course
Finding the right elements on a webpage is the most critical step in building reliable web automation tests. Without robust locator strategies, your automated test scripts will frequently break as web layouts evolve.
This course teaches you how to master XPath and CSS Selectors to target web elements with precision. You will start with foundational HTML structures and progress to writing advanced, resilient locators that withstand dynamic UI changes, ensuring your Selenium WebDriver scripts run smoothly.
What you'll learn:
- Understand the core HTML and DOM structure of modern web applications
- Write precise XPath expressions using axes, functions, and wildcards
- Construct efficient CSS Selectors for fast and reliable element targeting
- Locate dynamic elements and handle complex web layouts like Shadow DOM
- Apply best practices to write clean, maintainable, and non-brittle locators
- Use browser developer tools to inspect elements and test your selectors
The course begins with foundational concepts of web document structures before guiding you through syntax, advanced locating strategies, and hands-on writing exercises to build your practical skills.
This course is designed for beginner QA engineers, test automation learners, and developers who want to write reliable Selenium tests. No prior test automation experience is required, though a basic understanding of web pages is helpful.
