How to mock a response in Selenium

Image
 First, let us understand why there is a need to mock?  UI automation is an expensive thing to do as it's flaky and time-consuming not only in development but as well as in execution. Use Case 1 Imagine a situation, where we have an e-Commerce application where there is a new rating and review functionality. Now, in order to test this functionality, I need a lot of variations of test data from 0 reviews and ratings to probably a higher number. If I have to automate this scenario, that means, I need to  create multiple users Add their basic details such as Address, payments, etc Add that particular product in all the multiple users who will give ratings and reviews And finally, add ratings and reviews To achieve the above, we have 2 options 1. Using API's  directly and follow the above steps 2. Mock the response of the API which is getting these ratings and reviews details. If you are using Cypress, it is very much possible. todo using their intercept command. For Se...

Create custom locators to find element in WebDriver Java

In order to make our web application under test more testable, we approached dev and asked them to assign a custom attribute (say data-id to all the web components).  The advantage of this approach is that, dev are now free to change any other attribute ( not data -id) as per the business requirement without breaking our UI automation tests. Since data-id is a custom attribute that means, we have to use either By.xpath or By.Css and pass this data-id attribute every time. Or Just imagine an application that has a lot of images with common attribute href.  To efficiently tackle this situation, we can create our own custom locatory strategy by extending it from By Class. To give an example :- import java.util.List; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.SearchContext; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; public class ByImageSrc extends By { private final String imageByString; public ByImageSrc (String imageByString) { this...
