Selenium Automation Framework / Reusbale Functions / Library

I have had hunch about this from long and finally I am going to work on it. As the name suggests I would be developing Selenium library which could be plugged in and used for web UI automation. And I would be working on Java Selenium client, that is Selenium 1.0 and would extend it for Selenium 2.0. So here is my wish list what I would take up for this -

  1. Writing Safe Selenium api which checks for presence of element before carrying out operation
  2. File read and write operation - using text/excel/csv
  3. HTML parsing, i.e. reading number of rows in table, get table data etc. Such methods are very popular in QTP world and there is no inbuilt api in Selenium for same.
  4. Having the capability to use external object repo containing application object
  5. Soft assertion using selenium so your test execution continues even in the wake of errors and reports errors at last
  6. And many more....
 Do you also have a wish list? What would you like to be added to this library?

Updates -

I have decided to implement these features for Java as well as C#. Though my preference is java.
I would also be abstracting methods for selenium 1 and 2 to make them more comprehensible....

Using xPath to reach parent of an element

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .   I prefer css locator over xPath but there are times when css locators don't fit requirement. One such requirement is when you want to navigate to parent element of an element and may be parent of parent and even more. Unfortunately css locators don't provide any mechanism to navigate to parent of an element. See this for more. Of late I came across a scenario when I wanted to click on a link depending upon the text in a text box. Herein parent of text box and parent of link were at the same location. More over there could have been many such combinations in application. Fortunately I just need to pick first such instance and Web Driver any way considers only first instance when multiple locators are found matching an element. Element in question is in following html - Here I need to click on highlighted anchor on the basis of input element (which is also hig...

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) Email confirmation is a critical part of most registration flows — account activation, password reset, multi-factor authentication, and onboarding. Every automation engineer eventually faces the same challenge: How do you verify an email confirmation link inside a Selenium test without making it slow and flaky? The wrong instinct is to automate Gmail's UI with Selenium. It's fragile, slow, and breaks constantly. The right approach: Use Selenium for browser automation Use JavaMail (IMAP) to read the email directly Extract the confirmation link Continue the test in Selenium Why Not Automate Gmail UI With Selenium? Automating the Gmail UI means logging in, searching, clicking a message, and parsing content from a third-party interface that changes frequently. This leads to: Flaky...

At the end of this tutorial you would be able to create JMeter Live Test Result dashboard similar to following - This tutorial borrows information from many sources and my own experiments with JMeter live reporting dashboard. I have added source of information wherever applicable But before we can build such a snazzy JMeter Live Reporting dashboard we need to understand two more components - influxDB (a time series database) and Grafana Dashboard This is a big tutorial, so take deep breath :-) and follow on. Once you complete set up specified in this tutorial then you can watch JMeter Training Video Tutorial to watch this in action. What is Time Series Database?
