Selenium Function Library

Poornima and I built collection of java Classes for selenium which provide capabilities which are not built in Selenium like - HTML Table Parsing, Custom Verification, Logging to name a few. This project is been existent from some time now, though I never had chance to write up on this. Whole project is available under "Repository" section of Veda for "Testing Competency" project and can be opened using java IDE like Eclipe.
Best way to get acquainted with this API is to generate java doc your self which is no more than child's play.
Make sure you have java 1.5 or higher and ANT 1.7.0
Configure System variable for Java and ANT, once having done this u should be able to see version of java and ant on your console on doing - "java-version" and "ant -verison"
On Console navigate to path where Sel Library is check out, it turns out to be following for me -
"D:\SelFunctionLibrary\SeleniumFunctionLibrary>"
Execute following ANT Target -
D:\SelFunctionLibrary\SeleniumFunctionLibrary>ant -buildfile build.xml javadoc
This will build java doc files in "javadoc" folder of Sel library, which describes package, methods and classes available in Sel Library. These files are in html format and can be easily opened using browser. You should see following out put on execution ANT Target -

Verify email confirmation using Selenium WebDriver

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     How to Verify Email Confirmation Using Selenium 4 and JavaMail (2026 Guide) Updated: 2026 (Original article published August 02, 2011) Email confirmation is an integral part of most registration flows — account activation, password reset, multi-factor authentication, and onboarding emails. Sooner or later, every automation engineer faces the same challenge: How do we verify an email confirmation link inside a Selenium test without making the test slow and flaky? Many beginners try to automate Gmail UI using Selenium. That approach is fragile, slow, and tightly coupled to a third-party UI that changes frequently. A cleaner approach is this: Use Selenium for browser automation. Use JavaMail (IMAP) to read the email directly. Extract the confirmation link. Continue the test using Selenium. This guide shows a modern, production-ready approach using Selenium 4 and JavaMail . Why Not Auto...

Selenium Tutorial: Ant Build for Selenium Java project

Ant is a build tool which could be used to have your tests running either from command line or from Hudson CI tool. There is detailed documentation available for ant here but probably you need to know only a little part of it for you selenium tests. The essentials which are needed to know are: Project Target (ant execution point and collection of tasks) Tasks (could be as simple as compilation) And there would usually be following targets for Selenium tools - setClassPath - so that ant knows where you jar files are loadTestNG - so that you could use testng task in ant and use it to execute testng tests from ant init - created the build file clean - delete the build file compile - compiles the selenium tests run - executes the selenium tests Here is my project set up for ant -

Capture network traffic using WebDriver

We often come across testing requirements when we need to analyze the network traffic to find - HTTP status of page Analyze header information to find if right information is passed Validating parameters related to ajax requests etc Selenium 1 has had a way to capture n/w traffic but the feature does not always work as expected. At times Selenium 1 does not capture all n/w traffic, And given that Selenium 1 APIs are almost dead it is
