Selenium Interview Questions and Answers

Ques 1. Write a code snippet to perform right-click an element in WebDriver.

We will use Action class to generate user event like right-click an element in WebDriver.

Ques 2. Write a code snippet to perform mouse hover in WebDriver.

Actions action = newActions(driver);  

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("elementId"));  

action.moveToElement(element).perform();  

Ques 3. How do you perform drag and drop operation in WebDriver?

Code snippet to perform drag and drop operation:

//WebElement on which drag and drop operation needs to be performed  

WebElementfromWebElement = driver.findElement(By Locator of fromWebElement);  

//WebElement to which the above object is dropped  

WebElementtoWebElement = driver.findElement(By Locator of toWebElement);  

//Creating object of Actions class to build composite actions  

Actions builder = newActions(driver);  

//Building a drag and drop action  

Action dragAndDrop = builder.clickAndHold(fromWebElement)  

             .moveToElement(toWebElement)  

             .release(toWebElement)  

         .build();  

//Performing the drag and drop action  

dragAndDrop.perform();

Ques 6. What is POM (Page Object Model)? What are its advantages?

Page Object Model is a design pattern for creating an Object directory for web UI elements. Each web page is required to have its page class. The page class is responsible for finding the WebElements in web pages and then perform operations on WebElements.

The benefits of using POM are as follows:

• It facilitates with separate operations and flows in the UI from Verification - improves code readability
• Multiple tests can use the same Object Repository because the Object Repository is independent of Test Cases.
• Reusability of code

Ques 7. How can you find if an element is displayed on the screen?

WebDriver allows user to check the visibility of the web elements. These web elements can be buttons, radio buttons, drop, checkboxes, boxes, labels etc. which are used with the following methods.

• isDisplayed()
• isSelected()
• isEnabled()

isDisplayed():  

boolean buttonPresence = driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfba")).isDisplayed();  

isSelected():  

boolean buttonSelected = driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfba")).isSelected();  

isEnabled():  

boolean searchIconEnabled = driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfb")).isEnabled();
