Selenium Interview Question and Answers

Which framework you have worked on?

Explain each component you include in framework also why you use that component and what exactly the component is all about.

What is the main problem you have faced during your framework design?

The main challenge was to identify the proper structure of framework also to identify the right components which will fulfil your current requirement and future requirement.

Also, how to identify the libraries functions,

What source code management tool you have worked on?

We have used SVN for source code management tool.

How many team members are in automation testing?

We work in agile, and in my scrum team we have two QA engineers and our responsibility to perform functional testing, then we need to automation the required test cases.

How many browsers you have covered?

We do work on only two browsers i.e. Firefox and IE.

How did you manage to work on multiple browsers?

We used to trigger the script on multiple VM’s

How many scripts do you automate in a day?

IT can be 10, 20 and depends on the scenarios, see there are instance where for just one script whole day consume because for that test case we don’t have libraries present so it depends on the framework as well.

How many scripts you automated till date

I guess around 1000 or more than that.

Which execution engine you have used?

Selenium itself has no execution engine, however I have used TestNG as a execution engine.

Do you have experience in parallel testing?

Yes, I have designed a testNG framework with page object model with page factory approach we have design our script to run the parallel testing. Based on the thread count.

How did you execute failed test case only?

When we run test case using TestNG it self generate the failed test case report and we can use retry listener.

What is the super interface of WebDriver?

SearchContext.

Explain the architecture of selenium?

SearchContext is super most interfaces which are extended by WebDriver interface. Abstract methods of these two interfaces is implemented in Remote WebDriver class and overridden in respective browser classes such as FirefoxDriver, ChromeDriver, InternetExplorerDriver, SafariDriver etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question: - What are locators ?

 

Answer: - Locators are used to identify the element.In Selenium before performing any action (click, type etc) we should find the element using locators. In Selenium there are 8 types are locators. All of them are static methods in By class (it is an abstract class).

 

o All the methods takes string as argument and it returns an object of type By.

o The By object is used as input argument for findElement() method.

 

o  Return type of findElement() method is WebElement (it is an Interface).

 

Question: - What do you understand by SYNCHRONIZATION?

Answer: - Process of matching Selenium speed with application is called as Synchronization. On real time applications when Selenium try to find the element it may through ‘NoSuchElementException’ even though specified locator is correct.

 

Synchronization can be achieved with the help of implicit and explicit wait.

How do you execute the exe file in selenium ?

In Selenium there is No option to run exe file. We can use runtime class to execute the exe files.

 

Example :-

 

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:/Windows/system32/calc.exe");

 

Write a script verify whether page is loaded within 3 seconds?

driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(3,TimeUnit.SECONDS);

when do we need to use java script in selenium ?

If the method of Selenium is not working such as sendkeys(), click() etc. then we can use javascript as alternative option. Ex: if the textbox is disabled we can use sendkeys() method. In such cases we can use javascript.

To run the Java Script in Selenium we should use executeScript() method

How do you handle context menu?

Ans: Right clicking is also called as Contextclick.

When we right click on any element we get list of options which is called as context menu.

To right click on the element we use contextClick() method of Actions class. and to select required option in the contextmenu, we press the shortcut such as "t" for new tab, "w" for newwindow etc using sendKey() method of Actions class.

 

When to use defaultContent() and parentFrame() method while working with frame.

In order to transfer the control back to the main page we can use the following statements:

Example: -  driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

In case of nested frames, to switch from child frame to parent frame we can use following statements;

 

Example: -  driver.switchTo().parentFrame();

 

 

 

What is the difference between implicit wait and explicit wait?

 

Implicit	Explicit
We do not specify the condition	We should specify the condition
We can handle ‘Findelement’ and ‘Findelements’	We can handle any method
After the duration we get ‘NoSuchElement’	After the duration we get ‘Timeout’
exception	Exception
Duration can be DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES,	Duration will be only Seconds
SECONDS etc.

 

What are the difference between findElement() and findElements()

	findElement()	findElements()
	Return type is WebElement	Return Type is List<WebElement>
	If the specified locator is matching with	If the specified locator is matching with multiple

What is the difference between equals and == ?

	Equals	==
	It’s a method which is present in Object class.		This is a binary operator.
	Equals method can be overloaded and logic to Compare object can be changed based on the Business rule.		Java doesn’t support operator overloading.
	Equals method can be used only for Object comparision.		== operator is used for both primitive and objects.
	Equals method is used for content comparison.		== Operator is meant for reference comparison and address comparison.

Question: - What is WebElement?

 

Question: - What do you understand by xpath and type of xpath ?

 

Question: - While using click command can you use screen coordinate?

Answer: - To click on specific part of element, you would need to use clickAT command.  ClickAt command accepts element locator and x, y co-ordinates as arguments- clickAt (locator, cordString)

=====================================================================================

Question: - Which attribute you should consider throughout the script in frame for “if no frame Id as well as no frame name”?

Question: - Explain using Webdriver how you can perform double click ?

Answer: - We can perform double click by using

Syntax- Actions act = new Actions (driver);

act.doubleClick(webelement);

====================================================================================

 

Question: - What is the difference between getWindowhandles() and getwindowhandle() ?

Answer: - getwindowhandles(): It is used to get the address of all the open browser and its return type is iterator<String>

getwindowhandle(): It is used to get the address of the current browser where the control is and return type is string.

=====================================================================================

Question: - How can you check if a check-box or a radio button is selected?

Answer: - We can use the .isSelected() method, e.g.

driver.FindElement(By.id("id_of_checkbox")).isSelected();

====================================================================================

Question: - Is there a way to do drag and drop in selenium WebDriver?

Answer: - Yes, we can use the following code to do drag and drop

        Actions action = new Actions(driver);

        WebElement start = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“div.source”));

        WebElement end = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“div.target”));

        action.dragAndDrop(start,end).perform();

Question: - How to maximize window in Selenium ?

Answer: - After launching the browser, if we want to maximize the page we use the below code.

driver.manage().window().maximize();

====================================================================================

Question: - How can we handle web based pop up?

Answer: - WebDriver offers the users with a very efficient way to handle these pop ups using Alert interface. There are the four methods that we would be using along with the Alert interface.

void dismiss() – The accept() method clicks on the “Cancel” button as soon as the pop up window appears.

void accept() – The accept() method clicks on the “Ok” button as soon as the pop up window appears.

String getText() – The getText() method returns the text displayed on the alert box.

void sendKeys(String stringToSend) – The sendKeys() method enters the specified string pattern into the alert box.

Syntax:

// accepting javascript alert

        Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();

              alert.accept();

===================================================================================

Question: - Explain how you can switch back from a frame?

Answer: - To switch back from a frame use method defaultContent()

 

Question: - How can we locate an element by only partially matching its attributes value in Xpath?

Answer: - Using contains() method we can locate an element by partially matching its attribute's value. This is particularly helpful in the scenarios where the attributes have dynamic values with certain constant part.

xPath expression = //*[contains(@name,'user')]

The above statement will match the all the values of name attribute containing the word 'user' in them.

 

Question: - Explain how you can switch between frames?

Answer: - To switch between frames webdrivers [ driver.switchTo().frame() ] method takes one of the three possible arguments.

A number:  It selects the number by its (zero-based) index

A number or ID: Select a frame by its name or ID

Previously found WebElement: Using its previously located WebElement select a frame.

===================================================================================

Question: - What is the difference between driver.close() and driver.quit command?

Answer: - close(): WebDriver’s close() method closes the web browser window that the user is currently working on or we can also say the window that is being currently accessed by the WebDriver. The command neither requires any parameter nor does is return any value.

quit(): Unlike close() method, quit() method closes down all the windows that the program has opened. Same as close() method, the command neither requires any parameter nor does is return any value.

====================================================================================

Question: - Explain how you can use recovery scenario with Selenium?

Answer: - Recovery scenarios depends upon the programming language you use.  If you are using Java then you can use exception handling to overcome same.  By using “Try Catch Block” within your Selenium WebDriver Java tests

====================================================================================

Question: - How can you retrive the message in an alert box ?

Answer: - You can use the storeAlert command which will fetch the message of the alert pop up and store it in a variable.

====================================================================================

Question: - How can you find if an element in displayed on the screen?

Answer: - WebDriver facilitates the user with the following methods to check the visibility of the web elements. These web elements can be buttons, drop boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, labels etc.

Ø  isDisplayed()

Ø  isSelected()

Ø  isEnabled()

Syntax:

ü  isDisplayed():

o   boolean buttonPresence = driver.findElement(By.id(“gbqfba”)).isDisplayed();

ü  isSelected():

o   boolean buttonSelected = driver.findElement(By.id(“gbqfba”)).isDisplayed();

ü  isEnabled():

o   boolean searchIconEnabled = driver.findElement(By.id(“gbqfb”)).isEnabled();

====================================================================================

Question: - List the advantages of Web driver over Selenium Server?

Answer: - If we are using Selenium-WebDriver, we don’t need the Selenium Server as it is using totally different technology

Selenium Server provides Selenium RC functionality which is used for Selenium 1.0 backwards compatibility

Selenium Web driver makes direct calls to browser using each browsers native support for automation, while Selenium RC requires selenium server to inject Javascript into the browser.

What is the difference between Absolute/Complete XPath and Relative/ Partial XPath?

	Absolute/Complete XPath	Relative/ Partial XPath
	IThe key characteristic of XPath is that it begins with the single forward slash(/) ,which means you can select the element from the root node.		For Relative Xpath the path starts from the middle of the HTML DOM structure. Its start with the double forward slash (//), which means it can search the element anywhere at the webpage.
	The disadvantage of the absolute XPath is that if there are any changes made in the path of the element then that XPath gets failed.		The disadvantage of the relative XPath is that if there are any changes made in the path of the element then that XPath gets failed but here change are less as compared to absolute xpath.
	Equals method can be used only for Object comparision.		== operator is used for both primitive and objects.
	Equals method is used for content comparison.		== Operator is meant for reference comparison and address comparison.
