Introduction
Introduction
This book is a hands-on guide to dozens of specific ways you can use to get the most of
WebDriver in your test automation development. This practical handbook gives you
instantly-useful solutions for important areas like interacting with and testing web
applications and using the WebDriver APIs. As you read, you’ll graduate from
WebDriver fundamentals to must-have practices ranging from how to interact with,
control and verify web pages and exception handling, to more complex interactions
like page objects, alerts, and JavaScript, as well as, mobile testing, and much more.
Finally, you’ll learn how to build your own framework. By the end of the book, you’ll
be confident and skilled at testing your web applications with WebDriver.
About the technology
Web applications are difficult to test because so much depends on the way a user
interacts with individual pages. The Selenium WebDriver web testing framework helps
you build reliable and maintainable test automation for your web applications across
multiple browsers, operating systems and programming languages. Much like a human,
it can click on links, fill out forms, and read the web pages, and unlike a human, it
does not get bored. WebDriver can do nearly anything you ask it to—the trick is to
come up with a unified approach to testing. Fortunately, that’s where this book really
shines.

Introduction
Quotes from our early access reviewers:
Excellent coverage of a key technology in the web testing space.
An essential book for anyone interested in doing WebDriver integration testing.
You should have some familiarity with Java development (including basic use of
Maven). It starts with basic Selenium WebDriver usage but there’s plenty more.
It’s clear that the authors have been using this technology in a professional
setting for quite some time as the book is littered with one technique after
another which can be used to address problems one can expect when testing
real world web applications.
This book is a very practical guide to Selenium WebDriver. The book is loaded
with practical examples with their solutions. I have already used techniques to
solve problems at work.
It’s a really good introduction to the framework and I like the way the authors
have attempted to provide practical solutions to the problems one faces when
trying to automate certain types of tests.

Introduction
This book assumes you’re comfortable reading code in Java or a similar language and
that you know the basics of building and testing applications. No WebDriver
experience is required.
