BDD with Selenium Webdriver and Specflow using C#

Explore data types in C#, including string, int (16/32/64), bool, char, and decimal. Learn variable declaration, string concatenation, console output, indexing, and @ verbatim strings.

Interfaces achieve 100% abstraction by declaring methods without definitions for derived classes to implement. A class can implement multiple interfaces and use interface references to access only interface methods.

Learn to build XPath selectors using and, or, equals, and functions like contains, text, normalize-space, start with, plus index and last. Compare absolute and relative XPath for robust selectors.

This lecture explains the ancestor access view in xpath, showing how to reach a node’s parent and ancestors and use following-sibling and descendant axes to locate elements.

Explore the preceding axis view, which selects nodes at the same level above the current node using preceding siblings and XPath.

Learn how to set up Bugzilla on a Windows box using a Win32 executable, with an installation wizard, port configuration, and login credentials.

Explore modular, data-driven, and keyword-driven frameworks for selenium webdriver in C#, build a base webdriver class, use Web.config for configuration, and manage data and steps via Excel.

Outline a framework structure with base class for webdriver, component helpers, configuration readers, excel reader for data driven tests, interfaces, page objects, settings, and test scripts.

learn to read app.config configuration via configuration manager and appSettings, retrieving browser, username, and password with key-based access and convert the browser value to an enum for flexible framework initialization.

Learn to capture and save screenshots with the WebDriver API during tests, returning a screenshot object and saving as jpeg with an optional timestamped file name.

PhantomJS provides a headless browser for web automation via JavaScript APIs, running in a daemon with no UI, using Selenium WebDriver and NuGet for driver setup and screenshots after actions.

Extract all web elements with find elements, returning a list (22 matches) or an empty list when none are found, and demonstrate retrieving ids with get attribute.

Explore using the expected conditions class to implement dynamic waits in Selenium WebDriver, leveraging element exist, element visible, and title contains for robust test flows.

Learn how to perform browser actions in the browser window using the Webdriver API, including back, forward, refresh, and maximize the window via the AI navigation interface.

Learn how to interact with elements inside iframes by switching to the frame, using switch to frame with element, name, or index, and returning to default content.

Handle JavaScript confirmation and prompt popups using Selenium WebDriver by switching to alerts, accepting or dismissing, and sending input to prompts within frames.

Explore how Page Factory simplifies Selenium WebDriver element initialization in a page object model by using find by attributes, init elements, and direct element actions like send keys and click.
